Vomiting as a dominant symptom in a patient with acute asthma is reported. The traditionally recognized triad of cough, tachypnea and wheezing were absent or trivial whenever this patient presented with persistent vomiting. A careful history, laboratory evaluation and a course of bronchodilators
BACKGROUND
Emesis can be triggered by cough in children, and cough is a common symptom of asthma.
OBJECTIVE
To explore the association between posttussive emesis and asthma in the pediatric population.
METHODS
A questionnaire was distributed to parents of children between the ages of 2 and 17 years
BACKGROUND
Oral corticosteroids are an essential part of the management of children with acute asthma exacerbations. Vomiting is a frequently cited problem attributed to oral corticosteroids. A new formulation of prednisolone, Orapred, claims to have improved palatability that may decrease the
Asthma exacerbations are a leading cause of paediatric hospitalisations. Corticosteroids are key in the treatment of asthma exacerbations. Most current corticosteroids treatment regimens for children admitted with asthma exacerbation consist of a 5-day course of prednisone or OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the alterations of heart rate, blood pressure, psychological aspects and oxygen saturation after continuous fenoterol inhalation (0.5 mg/Kg) by children with severe acute asthma.
METHODS
We studied 30 patients with severe acute asthma who were treated at the pediatric ward of
The subjects were 40 children aged 6 to 16 years with stable chronic asthma; 20 were randomly assigned to receive 40 micrograms/kg of tulobuterol twice daily and 20 received 100 micrograms/kg of albuterol three times daily for three months. Patients were assessed by spirometry after the morning dose
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effectiveness and safety of alternative nebulized drug protocols in children with mild or moderate asthma exacerbations.
METHODS
We conducted a blinded, randomized, controlled trial with a 2 x 2 factorial design. Two interventions, nebulized salbutamol in frequent low doses
Life-threatening refractory metabolic acidosis due to starvation ketoacidosis is rarely reported, even among nondiabetic pregnant women, and may be overlooked. Furthermore, stressful situations may increase the acidosis severity.In the present case, a nondiabetic multiparous woman was admitted for a
Asthma is the most common chronic paediatric disease treated in the emergency department (ED). Rapid corticosteroid administration is associated with improved outcomes, but our busy ED setting has made it challenging to achieve this goal. Our primary aim was to decrease the time to corticosteroid
This study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of dexamethasone (DEX) as an alternative to prednisone/prednisolone (PRED) for the treatment of pediatric asthma exacerbations in emergency department (ED).Fixed-effects meta-analyses of selected endpoints BACKGROUND
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is one of the most common comorbidities in patients with asthma. Gastroesophageal reflux disease can be linked to difficult-to-control asthma. Current management includes gastric acid suppression therapy and surgical antireflux procedures. The LINX®
Background: Young adults (ages 18-44) have increased emergency department use for asthma and poor adherence to medications. The objective of this mixed-methods study was to understand experiences with and approaches to managing asthma, of
