Infants recovering from bronchiolitis and no longer requiring supplemental oxygen will have brief episodes of oxygen desaturation during sleep when monitored with pulse oximetry. These episodes can be explained by the inhibition of the tonic activity of the inspiratory muscles during rapid eye movement sleep. Pulse oximetry monitoring should be discontinued, and these infants considered for discharge.
