Treatment of hyperkalaemia with intravenous salbutamol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thirteen children with hyperkalaemia were treated by intravenous infusions of salbutamol, 4 micrograms/kg over 20 minutes. Reductions in the mean (SD) plasma potassium concentrations, of 1.48 (0.5) and 1.64 (0.5) mmol/l were obtained at 40 and 120 minutes, respectively, after completion of the infusions. No side effects were noted.

Treatment of hyperkalaemia using intravenous and nebulised salbutamol.
In 11 children (aged 5-18 years) with end stage chronic renal failure, the effect on plasma potassium of two doses of salbutamol (separated by two hours) given intravenously (4 micrograms/kg) and on a separate date, of salbutamol administered by nebuliser (2.5 mg if the child weighed below 25 kg, 5 mg if above) was observed. Within 30 minutes of the first dose, the mean plasma potassium concent...

look at first glance as though ICI 118 551 has no effect on exercise-induced hyperkalaemia compared with placebo. However, the baseline potassium concentration was significantly lower in the ICI 118 551 group than in the placebo group, and this may explain the apparent lack of effect on exercise response. Furthermore, in that study atenolol had no effect on the exercise-induced potassium respon...
متن کاملRandomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous salbutamol and nebulized ipratropium bromide in early management of severe acute asthma in children presenting to an emergency department.
BACKGROUND In acute severe asthma, treatment must be initiated early to reverse the pathophysiology that may render airways less responsive to bronchodilation. The addition of nebulized ipratropium bromide to initial emergency department therapy improves pulmonary function, but it is unclear whether this approach results in earlier hospital discharge. The early use of bolus intravenous salbutam...
متن کاملNebulized or intravenous beta 2 adrenoceptor agonist therapy in acute asthma?
Nebulized salbutamol has been known to be an effective treatment of asthma for almost two decades [1] and nebulized bronchodilator therapy has now become firstline treatment of severe acute asthma in the Emergency Departments of most British hospitals [2]. This treatment was recommended as the most effective in 1972 [3J. but after the advent of intravenous salbutamol and terbutaline the choice ...
متن کاملExpression of the beta 2 adrenoceptor partial agonist/antagonist activity of salbutamol in states of low and high adrenergic tone.
BACKGROUND Salbutamol exhibits partial agonist/antagonist activity at airway beta 2 receptors in vitro in that it attenuates the bronchorelaxant effect of the full agonist isoprenaline. The aim of the present study was to characterise the partial beta 2 agonist/antagonist activity of salbutamol in vivo during supine rest and exercise, in states of low and high adrenergic tone. METHODS Eight n...
