چکیده
Milner, A. D., and Ingram, D. (1971). Archives of Diseases in Childhood, 46, 502. Bronchodilator and cardiac effects of isoprenaline, orciprenaline, and salbutamol aerosols in asthma. The bronchodilator and cardiac effects of 0-5% isoprenaline, 2 5% orciprenaline, and 0-5% salbutamol, and a placebo solution inhaled as a nebulized mist from a Wright nebulizer were compared with the help of 12 asthmatic children. All three active drugs produced similar relief of bronchoconstriction, but salbutamol was followed by only a 13% increase in heart rate compared with 26% after orciprenaline and 29% after isoprenaline, and only

notes the substantial benefit many children with moderate to severe chronic asthma derive from the use of steroid aerosols. However, it fails to emphasize the important place that regular use of bronchodilators has in management. It is inferred that if adequate control of asthma is not achieved with regular prophylactic disodium cromoglycate and bronchodilator therapy given early in the course ...
متن کاملEffect of particle size of bronchodilator aerosols on lung distribution and pulmonary function in patients with chronic asthma.
The particle size of bronchodilator aerosols may be important in determining the site of deposition in the lung and their therapeutic effect. The distribution of aerosols (labelled with technetium-99m diethylene triamine pentacetic acid) of two different particle sizes has been studied by gamma camera imaging. The particles had mass median aerodynamic diameters (geometric standard deviations) o...
متن کاملResponse of asthmatics to isoprenaline and salbutamol aerosols administered by intermittent positive-pressure ventilation.
The bronchodilator and cardiac effects produced by aerosols of 0.5% isoprenaline and of 0.25, 0.5, and 1% salbutamol administered in 40% oxygen by intermittent positive-pressure ventilation were compared in 24 asthmatic patients. Isoprenaline and salbutamol in concentrations of 0.5% were equipotent in peak bronchodilator effect; salbutamol was superior in total bronchodilator effect and duratio...
متن کاملA cumulative dose comparison between salbutamol and fenoterol metered dose aerosols in asthmatic patients.
The potency and side effects of salbutamol and fenoterol inhalers have been compared in 8 asthmatic patients using a dose response curve. There was no significant difference in the absolute or percentage increase in FEV1 with the two treatments, but fenoterol caused a significantly greater (P less than 0.01) increase in heart rate than did salbutamol. A greater degree of bronchodilatation was o...
متن کاملOccupational asthma in salbutamol process workers
Occupational asthma after exposure to salbutamol in the pharmaceutical industry has not been previously reported. The occurrence of occupational asthma is described in two pharmaceutical process workers who were likely to have inhaled doses appreciably in excess of the therapeutic dose range. The findings do not lead to an unequivocal conclusion on the mechanism of the asthma but it was probabl...
