Barriers and Facilitators to Guideline-Adherent Pulse Oximetry Use in Bronchiolitis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring (cSpO₂) 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 cSpO₂ overuse in order to reduce overuse and its associated harms.

Methods

This multicenter qualitative study took place in the context of the Eliminating Monitor Overuse (EMO) SpO₂ study, a cross-sectional study to establish rates of cSpO₂ in bronchiolitis. We conducted semistructured interviews, informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, with a purposive sample of stakeholders at sites with high and low cSpO₂ use rates to identify barriers and fac
