Key Points Question Is intermittent pulse oximetry more cost-effective than continuous monitoring for children hospitalized with stabilized bronchiolitis? Findings This economic evaluation of a randomized clinical trial found that mean societal perspective costs per patient were similar between intermittent and continuous monitoring. Costs for the health care system perspective and mean length of hospital stay were also similar between the 2 groups. Meaning Along with other practice considerations which favor intermittent monitoring, this economic evaluation provides additional support on the use of intermittent pulse oximetry in hospitalized infants with stabilized bronchiolitis.
