The characteristic wheeze and prolonged duration of illness can be distressing for parents, who may lack the practical knowledge of how to effectively implement supportive care. When the mainstay of treatment is supportive care without any single curative intervention, you need to be able to discuss the etiology, management, and anticipatory guidance on a level that the parents can understand.

Now that nirsevimab is on the routine infant immunization schedule, it’s extremely important and pediatric providers understand the recommendations and science behind the monoclonal antibody to help vaccine acceptance that will undoubtedly reduce bronchiolitis hospitalization.

Whether the name is difficult to pronounce or varies from the name given at birth, providers can use simple tools to correctly pronounce names and address their patients in a way that honors both the patient and their caregivers.

But their roots in harmful stereotypes and assumptions are psychologically disparaging and invalidating to the people from marginalized groups they offend. They reflect implicit bias that is unconsciously embedded into language and behavior. As an ally, interrupting microaggressions can be a challenge that requires curiosity to confront.

In this episode, we discuss examples of how implicit bias can impact health care in children and the skills that provider’s can hone to combat its influence.
