nebulizer - in mild to moderate asthma exacerbation: a multicenter, randomized study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: β2 agonist administered via a nebulizer is the standard treatment for acute asthma exacerbation. There are some limitations for the use of nebulization. We conducted a study to determine the efficacy of salbutamol administered via the pMDI with Volumatic ® spacer and the Easyhaler ® (DPI) compared to nebulization in mild to moderate asthma exacerbations in children. Methods: A multicenter, randomized, controlled study was conducted in children between 5 and 18 years of age who presented at an emergency or outpatient department. They were randomized to receive either 6 puffs of salbutamol via the pMDI with Volumatic ®

متن کاملRisk factors of asthma exacerbation based on asthma severity: a nationwide population-based observational study in South Korea
OBJECTIVES Asthma exacerbation, associated with many risks factors, can reflect management failure. However, little is known about how risk factors are associated with exacerbation, according to asthma severity. We aimed to investigate differences in risk factors in patients with different asthma severity and evaluate whether risk factors differed between frequent exacerbators and patients with...
