The review provides modern guidelines for the diagnosis, management and prevention of an acute bronchiolitis in children aged from 1 to 23 months recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (ААР) and National Institutes for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The work objective is to determine the paradigm of diagnosis and treatment of the acute bronchiolitis in children for the development of outpatient and inpatient care of children of Ukraine according to the global standards grounded on evidence-based criteria. The authors highlight the key criteria for the diagnosis of bronchiolitis in Ukraine and other countries of the world, suggest the unification of criteria for effective registration of the disease, the potential for use of the global methods of diagnosis and treatment of patients. Classification of severity and management peculiarities depending upon the severity of acute bronchiolitis in a child, the differential diagnosis of acute bronchiolitis, which is the topical issue for general practitioners, paediatricians and paediatric pulmonologists are presented in the paper. The therapy of children with the acute bronchiolitis is shown in terms of the out& and inpatient treatment and includes a step-by-step guidance on the peculiarities of awareness&raising activities with the child's parents, patient's feeding and logistics. The ineffectiveness of most drugs used in the routine management of acute bronchiolitis is substantiated in the paper according to the level of evidence. The current global monitoring of patients is presented. These recommendations should not be applied to the management of children with recurrent wheezing syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neuromuscular diseases, cystic fibrosis and haemodynamically significant congenital heart defects, and immunodeficiency, including those with human immunodeficiency virus.
Key words: children, acute bronchiolitis, diagnosis, treatment.
