Techniques of administration of metered-dose aerosolized drugs in asthmatic children

American Journal of Diseases of Children
T B Harper, Robert C Strunk

Abstract

The use of medications in metered-dose aerosol form in children with asthma has increased dramatically with the development of safer, inhaled beta 2-adrenergic agents and the inhaled corticosteroid, beclomethasone dipropionate. However, the most appropriate techniques of administration of these agents are presently unclear, and frequent inefficient use of these metered-dose inhalers results. We review the aerosol physiology literature to determine and recommend a most efficient inhalation technique for the use of these metered-dose aerosol devices.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
