Effect of preservative on the efficacy of terbutaline nebuliser solution in atopic asthma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficacy of bronchodilator nebuliser solutions may be influenced by the presence of preservatives. In a double blind, randomised, crossover study the effect of preservatives in determining the airway responses to 5 mg of terbutaline was studied in a group of 21 atopic asthmatic patients. The presence of preservatives affected neither the bronchodilator action of terbutaline nor its protection against bronchoconstriction induced by histamine.

Comparison of the efficacy of preservative free ipratropium bromide and Atrovent nebuliser solution.
The paradoxical bronchoconstriction observed with commercially available isotonic ipratropium bromide nebuliser solution (Atrovent) in patients with asthma results from an adverse reaction to the preservatives, benzalkonium chloride and ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA). The airway response to inhaled Atrovent and preservative free ipratropium bromide nebuliser solutions has been examined...
متن کاملMetered 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 کاملDomiciliary comparison of terbutaline treatment by metered dose inhaler with and without conical spacer in severe and moderately severe chronic asthma.
The bronchodilator response to cumulative doses of terbutaline administered by metered dose inhaler with and without a conical spacer device and by Acorn nebuliser has been compared in groups of patients with chronic severe and moderately severe asthma. After laboratory studies the patients undertook a randomised domiciliary crossover comparison of bronchodilator response to terbutaline given b...
متن کاملComparison of three techniques of inhalation on the airway response to terbutaline.
The relative efficiency of the metered dose inhaler (MDI), the MDI attached to a pear shaped extension tube (PET), and the Inspiron Mini-Neb nebuliser were assessed in eight normal and eight asthmatic subjects. Subjects inhaled the same increasing doses of terbutaline with each technique on different occasions and the response was measured as specific airway conductance (sGaw) and, in the asthm...

BACKGROUND The merits of the use of beta 2 agonists by ambulance crew and best methods of delivery have not been fully explored. METHODS A prospective comparison has been made of treatments applied in three districts in South Wales (200 micrograms salbutamol by pressurised inhaler, 5 mg salbutamol via nebuliser, and 5 mg terbutaline via Nebuhaler) by emergency ambulance personnel to acutely w...
