Fitting the unprecedented nature of the last 18 months, Summer 2021 ushered in an unusual, very early respiratory season in pediatrics, causing many of us to pause to consider what the typical Winter respiratory season may hold. Between the rise of the Delta variant, national nursing shortages, contentious mask mandates and the eager anticipation of EUA approval for the COVID vaccine use in kids aged 5-11... we in healthcare find ourselves in a sobering reality. In this episode, we are joined by our pediatric pulmonary colleagues to talk through clinical pearls for determining if patients are presenting with RSV, COVID or some other viral infection.

Heather De Keyser, MD is a faculty member in the Breathing Institute at Children’s Colorado and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Pulmonary Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Oren Kupfer, MD is the Inpatient Medical Director of the Breathing Institute at Children’s Colorado and Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Pulmonary Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
