Heliox-driven albuterol nebulization for asthma exacerbations: an overview.
Our understanding of albuterol nebulization driven by helium-oxygen mixture (heliox) has matured with recent advances in clinical therapy, delivery systems, and understanding of dosing; this has led to substantial improvements in delivery as well as refinements of research protocols for asthma exacerbations. This review begins with heliox inhalation therapy and then addresses heliox as a drivin...
متن کاملManagement of acute asthma exacerbations.
Asthma exacerbations can be classified as mild, moderate, severe, or life threatening. Criteria for exacerbation severity are based on symptoms and physical examination parameters, as well as lung function and oxygen saturation. In patients with a peak expiratory flow of 50 to 79 percent of their personal best, up to two treatments of two to six inhalations of short-acting beta2 agonists 20 min...
متن کاملAsthma Exacerbations
Asthma exacerbations are common in patients with uncontrolled asthma and carry a considerable burden of morbidity. Despite treatment guidelines by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Expert Panel Report 3 (EPR-3) and the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), patients continue to experience uncontrolled asthma and thus are at increased risk for severe exacerbations. Asthm...
متن کاملIntramuscular salbutamol in treatment of acute exacerbations of childhood asthma.
Salbutamol was given by the intramuscular route to children aged 3 to 16 years with an attack of asthma. Results with a dose of 8 microgram/kg were favourable but suggested that a higher dose might be more so. 16 children thereafter were treated with 20 microgram/kg which produced a greater mean increase in peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) without increase in side effects. This dose was then u...
متن کاملPeak expiratory flow sequence in acute exacerbations of asthma.
The effect of deep inspiration on airway calibre in asthma may be a marker of the pathophysiology of airflow obstruction. Dilator responses occur with predominant airway smooth muscle spasm, and constrictor responses with more severe inflammatory bronchoconstriction. We investigated whether the effect of deep inspiration, as reflected by the change in peak expiratory flow from the first to last...
