Evaluation of an educational outreach and audit and feedback program to reduce continuous pulse oximetry use in hospitalized infants with stable bronchiolitis: a nonrandomized clinical trial.
National guidelines recommend against continuous pulse oximetry use for hospitalized children with bronchiolitis who are not receiving supplemental oxygen, yet guideline-discordant use remains high. The objective of this study was to evaluate deimplementation outcomes of educational outreach and audit and feedback strategies aiming to reduce guideline-discordant continuous pulse oximetry use in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis who are not receiving supplemental oxygen.

A consensus approach to the primary prevention of food allergy through nutrition: guidance from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology; American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology; and the Canadian Society for Allergy and Clinical
This paper provides a consensus approach to the primary prevention of pediatric food allergy through nutrition using data from a number of high-impact randomized controlled trials. Recommendations from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, and the Canadian Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology are to introduce peanut and egg around age 6 months, but not before 4 months as well as introducing other allergens. Maternal exclusion of allergens during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding to prevent food allergy is not recommended. No association was found between exclusive breast-feeding and the primary prevention of any specific food allergy.

Barriers and facilitators to guideline-adherent pulse oximetry use in bronchiolitis.
Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring (cSpO(2)) in children with bronchiolitis does not improve clinical outcomes and has been associated with increased resource use and alarm fatigue. It is critical to understand the factors that contribute to cSpO(2) overuse in order to reduce overuse and its associated harms. In this paper, the authors discuss the barriers and facilitators to guideline-adherent pulse oximetry use in bronchiolitis.
