  Introduction: Several studies have concluded that there are no significant differences between the different aerosols used in the treatment of bronchiolitis. However, in recent protocols epinephrine has shown more short-term efficiency than the placebo and beta2-agonists, with an improvement of symptoms within the first 60 minutes. 
  Objectives: To prove that the use of nebulized epinephrine in patients admitted with bronchiolitis leads to a subjective improvement as perceived by caregivers (regarding quality of sleep, food intake and general state of health) and that it affects the days of hospitalization, compared with the use of physiological saline solution (PSS). 
  Patients and methods: Experimental, prospective, randomized, single-blind study. It includes breastfed babies <12 months old who were admitted in our hospital from 15th October 2015 to 31st March 2016. 
  Results: 58 patients, 62% male in total. The median age at admission was 2 months (interquartile range 3). 62% received epinephrine and 38% were given PSS. No differences were found regarding the days of oxygen therapy or the days of admission between both groups. With regard to the parents’ assessment of food intake, sleeping and general state of health, we did not find statistically significant differences between different aerosols. 
  Conclusions: The use of epinephrine does not lead to a subjective improvement perceived by the caregivers compared with the use of PSS.
