Metered dose inhaler and nebuliser in acute asthma.
One hundred and eleven children with acute asthma were studied to compare delivery of terbutaline by either a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with a valved holding chamber or a nebuliser driven by air. Eligible patients were randomised; the MDI group received three puffs (0.75 mg) of terbutaline and the nebuliser group received 2 ml (5.0 mg) terbutaline solution diluted with 2 ml 0.9% saline for inh...
متن کاملHolding chambers (spacers) versus nebulisers for beta-agonist treatment of acute asthma.
BACKGROUND In acute asthma inhaled beta(2)-agonists are often administered by nebuliser to relieve bronchospasm, but some have argued that metered-dose inhalers with a holding chamber (spacer) can be equally effective. Nebulisers require a power source and need regular maintenance, and are more expensive in the community setting. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of holding chambers (spacers) ...
متن کاملA metal aerosol holding chamber devised for young children with asthma.
The low tidal volume and flow in preschool children may reduce the efficiency of aerosol delivery from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) through a traditional holding chamber. A prototype small-volume steel holding chamber with two one-way valves was devised to prolong aerosol availability in the chamber and to ensure unidirectional airflow. Dead space between the valves was minimized t...

متن کاملPressurised metered dose inhalers with spacers versus nebulisers for beta-agonist delivery in acute asthma in children in the emergency department.
OBJECTIVES Wet nebulisers are widely used for beta-2 agonist delivery in Australasian emergency departments (ED). An increasing body of work suggests that pressurised metered dose inhalers with spacers (pMDI-S) are as effective. This study aims to investigate the effect on admission rates, total time in the ED, and total time in hospital after initiation of routine pMDI-S treatment for mild to ...
