ABSTRACT

Objective of the study: To determine the maximal bronchodilator dose of procaterol and pirbuterol administered by inhalation with an without an aerochamber (Aerocâmera) to children with acute brinchial asthma attacks. Type of study: Prospective. 18 children (6-15 years of age) with acute bronchial asthma attacks (FEV1 < 80 per cents of the predicted value) received pirbuterol (N = 10) or procaterol (N = 8) by metered-dose inhaler, one puff every 5 minutes, for a total of five doses. During another acute attack, the same patient received the same medication with the aid of a spacer (Aerocâmera). Clinical evaluation and pulmonary function tests were performed 5 minutes after each inhaled dose. Results: For both drugs, maximal bronchodilation was obtained after the second dose. No significant side effects were observed even after procaterol doses of 50 µg or pirbuterol doses of 1000 µg. The results were unaffected by the use of the spacer. Conclusions: The doses that induced maximal bronchodilation were 400 µg pirbuterol and 20 µg procaterol Although the spacer did not change the results, it is a valuable aid for patients who have difficulty in using the metered-dose inhaler (M.D.I.)

ABSTRACT

Se estudian las características del embarazo, parto y del R.N. de madres menores de 19 años atendidas en la maternidad del Hospital de Clínicas de Asunción, desde el 1§ de enero al 31 de diciembre de 1985. Se comparan algunas variables biológicas de la madre y del neonato de las menores de 18 años de edad con las de 18 años, encontrándose diferencias notorias en: maniobras obstétricas, desproporción feto-pélvica, pre-eclampsia y eclampsia fototerapia en neonatos, peso al nacer, ictericia neonatal, Apgar a los 5', asfixia y anoxia neonatal, S.D.R., mortalidad. Otras variables estudiadas de orden social fueron estado civil y duración de la hospitalización de la madre. El análisis efectuado no obstante las limitaciones advertidas, permite comprobar las afirmaciones de los expertos internacionales respecto a la existencia de mayores riesgos perinatales cuando más próximo a la menarquía acontece el embarazo (11-12). La madurez reproductiva de la mujer se alcanzaría cinco años después de la menarquía. Por tanto, es de alta prioridad la atención cuidadosa de todo embarazo antes iniciado antes de los 18 años de edad
