Abstract
Isoproterenal therapy was performed on 118 childhood status asthmaticus patients (continuous inhalation 94 cases, continuos drip-infusion 24 cases).INHALATION: With respect to time, dyspnea and heart rate decreased in all cases. No side effects were observed. Continuous inhalation in thought to be a safe and effective therapy for status asthmaticus, and to be worthwhile attempting before steroid therapy.DRIP INFUSION: Compared to the inhalation patients, more severe children were chosen. This therapy is effective as an alternative method for intubation, but it requires much more equipment and medical staff compared to continuous inhalation. It is also important to prepare properly prior to intubation.
