Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome measure for the study is peak flow measurement collected in 30 lung healthy infants aged 0-2 years and 30 infants with bronchiolitis aged 0-2 years. Peak flow will be measured using an ultrasonic flow meter.[The peak flow measurement will be recorded for one minute in all infants]
