Hypoxaemia in wheezy infants after bronchodilator
The response of the bronchi to nebulised salbutamol was measured in five recurrently wheezy infants. Changes in oxygenation (measured by pulse oximeter and transcutaneous P02 electrodes) and carbon dioxide (measured by transcutaneous PCO2 electrode) were recorded at the same time. Neither nebulised saline nor salbutamol caused any changes in the measurements of airway function. A significant dr...
متن کاملHypoxaemia after nebulised salbutamol in wheezy infants: the importance of aerosol acidity.
The effect of nebulised iso-osmolar, preservative free, but acidic salbutamol solution was studied in 34 acutely wheezing infants aged 1-17 months. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) and oxygen saturation (SO2) fell significantly during the first five minutes after nebulisation with further deterioration at 15-20 minutes. Ten of these infants were followed up for another two hours and showe...
متن کاملBronchodilator responsiveness in wheezy infants and toddlers is not associated with asthma risk factors.
BACKGROUND There are limited data assessing bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) in infants and toddlers with recurrent wheezing, and factors associated with a positive response. OBJECTIVES In a multicenter study of children ≤ 36 months old, we assessed the prevalence of and factors associated with BDR among infants/toddlers with recurrent episodes of wheezing. METHODS Forced expiratory flow...
متن کاملLung function response to bronchodilator nebulization via hood in wheezy infants: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND In infants, small volume nebulizers with a face mask are commonly used to facilitate aerosol therapy. However, infants may be disturbed by mask application, causing poor mask-to-face seal and thus reducing the dose delivered. OBJECTIVES To compare lung function response to bronchodilator nebulization via two delivery devices: hood versus mask. METHODS We studied 26 recurrently wh...
متن کاملBronchodilators for wheezy infants?
The following scene is regularly enacted in hospitals throughout Britain. A 10 month old infant with a history of recurrent wheeze since early infancy arrives in the accident and emergency department with another distressing attack of airways obstruction. Despite being told by his well-read seniors that bronchodilators are of no value, the paediatric house officer prescribes the current favouri...
