Budesonide reverses lung hyperinflation in childhood asthma: a controlled study
It was investigated whether inhaled budesonide reduces lung volumes in a group of asthmatic children with lung hyperinflation. Budesonide (800 mg bid, for 2 months) was administered to 12 asthmatic children (mean age, 11.293.3 years) with lung hyperinflation (TGV]130% predicted and/or RV]140% predicted) in a randomised, placebo controlled, double blind, crossover study. Body plethysmography (pa...
متن کاملKetotifen versus inhaled budesonide for controlling childhood asthma.
BACKGROUND International asthma guideline recommends inhaled corticosteroids therapy for children of all ages as the first controller. However, in some less developed parts of the world, ketotifen, an old inexpensive medicine with antihistaminic and anti-allergic reactions, has been found to be the most favored prophylactic agents. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of ketotifen and...
متن کاملMechanisms of hyperinflation in asthma.
We studied 11 mild asthmatics to verify whether the mechanisms of hyperinflation in asthma could be inhibited or overcome by passively changing lung volumes. On day 1, we induced a fall in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of 30-60% by methacholine inhalation and measured the resulting increase in FRC (delta FRC). The delta FRC was 729 +/- 378 ml (mean +/- SD). On day 2, with the su...
متن کاملEffect of budesonide on pulmonary hyperinflation in young asthmatic children.
In 19 asthmatic children, aged 2-6 years, the effect of six weeks' treatment with inhaled budesonide or placebo on functional residual capacity (FRC--helium dilution) and bronchodilator responsiveness was assessed in a double blind, randomised crossover trial. FRC was increased in most children at the start of treatment. Treatment with budesonide was associated with a reduction in FRC by compar...
متن کاملBronchodilatory effect of inhaled budesonide/formoterol and budesonide/salbutamol in acute asthma: a double-blind, randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND There are no published studies that have compared bronchodilatory effect of inhaled budesonide/formoterol combination with budesonide/salbutamol delivered by metered dose inhaler with a spacer in acute exacerbation of asthma in children. We, therefore, compared the bronchodilatory effects of inhaled budesonide/formoterol (dose: 200 μg and 12 μg respectively) combination with budesoni...
