Abstract
AimTo analyse systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), partial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) disorders for an hour after short and long acting ß2-agonists. Material and methodsTwenty-four severe persistent asthma Pulmonology outpatients at Hospital Universitario Gaffree e Guinle were selected. SBP, DBP, SpO2 and HR values were determined before and after 400μg of salbutamol and 12μg of formoterol, on different days, with a minimum interval of 24 hours. ResultsAll patients showed ventilatory obstruction, as seen by a reduced FEV1/FVC ratio. There was no statistical SBP/DBP/HR difference after bronchodilator agents, but SpO2 increased with salbutamol. ConclusionA standard dose of salbutamol and formoterol does not cause haemodynamic disorder.
