ABSTRACT
Eighty one infants with severe asthma attacks were randomly divided into three groupsbudesonide group (budesonide suspension + ventolin inhalation),methylprednisolone group (Ventolin inhalation + intravenous methylprednisoloue) and ventolin group (ventolin inhalation alone).Compared with the pre-treatment,the respiratory rate,heart rate,wheeze score,self-feeling score of three groups were gradually reduced (q=2.96-163.37,P<0.05 or 0.01).The respiratory rate,heart rate of ventolin group was significantly higher than those of budesonide group (q=3.08,4.10,P<0.05) and methylprednisolone group (q=3.24,3.34,P<0.05) 4 h after treatment,wheeze score,self-feeling score of ventolin group was significantly higher than budesonide group (q=5.63-23.63,P<0.01) and methylprednisolone group (q=6.76-23.72,P<0.01) 4 and 12 h after treatment.Results indicate that budesonide suspension can achieve the same effect as intravenous methylprednisolone and bronchodilators alone may not effectively control the severe asthma attack in infants.
