Fenoterol versus salbutamol nebulization in asthma.

Fenoterol versus salbutamol nebulization in asthma.

A double-blind crossover study was conducted in 10 stable asthmatics comparing 5 mg fenoterol with 5 mg salbutamol, both given via a Hudson nebulizer. Although both drugs caused significant bronchodilatation at the doses used, fenoterol had a significantly greater peak effect than salbutamol and its duration of action was 4 hr as opposed to 3 hr.

Salbutamol via metered-dose inhaler with spacer versus nebulization for acute treatment of pediatric asthma in the emergency department.

OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of salbutamol delivered via a metered-dose inhaler with spacer versus a nebulizer for acute asthma treatment in the pediatric emergency department. METHODS All consecutive children younger than 14 years old who required treatment of acute asthma exacerbation in the emergency department during May 2002 (prospective cohort, n = 321) and May 2001(retrospect...

Doseeffect Relationship of the flAgonists Fenoterol and Salbutamol in Patients With Asthma*

Q uestion: What is the relative per microgram potency and side effect profile of the 8-agonists salbutamol and fenoterol? Method: The relative bronchodilator ( FEV1, V25, V50) potency and side effect profile ( tremor, heart rate, breathlessness, BP) of nebulized salbutamol and fenoterol were evaluated by means of a randomized, doubleblind, crossover, cumulative (50 to 2,500 g) doseresponse stud...

later (the last 4 months) as compared to the first 4 months in both groups. Concerning the wheeze, the significant change was also examined in both groups. As for the frequency of the b2-receptor agonist inhalation consumption, the significant decrease was observed in group A and B. The meaningful change of the peripheral blood eosinophile count was not watched in group A and B. The serum IgE v...
