Summary

The goal of this clinical is to compare treatment outcomes between continuous nebulization and intermittent therapy in the management of acute exacerbation of asthma in the emergency department(ED). Participants will random assign to either continuous or intermittent nebulization. In the continuous group, patients receive budesonide, fenoterol, ipratropium bromide, and normal saline continuously for an hour. In the intermittent group, the same medications are administer every 20 minutes for an hour. Measurements include symptom severity, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pulmonary function tests. Primary endpoints are ED stay length, hospital admission, and ED revisit within 48 hours post-discharge. Adverse events are documented.

Conditions

  • Asthma Exacerbation
  • Emergency Department
  • Nebulization

Interventions

DEVICE

continuous nebulization

continuous nebulization using the MiniHEART-HiFlo® nebulizer containing Budesonide 1000 microgram/2 ml (3 respules) + 1.25 mg of fenoterol and 0.5 mg of ipratropium bromide (Berodual®, 4 ml) and Normal saline 12 ml in the nebulizer chamber. Patients in this group will receive continuous aerosol therapy over a period of 1 hour at an oxygen flow rate of 8 L/min

DEVICE

Intermittent nebulization

intermittent nebulization using a nebulizer containing Budesonide 1000 microgram/2 ml (1 respules) + 1.25 mg of fenoterol and 0.5 mg of ipratropium bromide (Berodual®, 4 ml) at an oxygen flow rate of 10 L/min every 20 minutes, thrice within 1 hour
