Summary

Nebulised treatments are essential for severe asthma attacks and for young children with persistent asthma when inhalers fail. Proper nebuliser equipment and usage are crucial for effective drug delivery in asthma management.

Area of Science:

  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Inhaled drug delivery is the preferred route for asthma management.
  • Spacer devices have reduced nebuliser use, but nebulisation remains vital in specific scenarios.
  • Current guidelines recommend specific approaches for different asthma severities and age groups.

Purpose:

  • To review the current role and indications of nebulised asthma treatments.
  • To highlight the importance of equipment and technique in nebulisation therapy.
  • To provide guidance on the use of nebulised medications in pediatric asthma.

Summary:

  • Nebulisation of short-acting beta-2-agonists is first-line for severe acute asthma attacks, often with oxygen.
  • Ipratropium bromide may be added based on attack severity and response to beta-2-agonists.

  • Nebulised budesonide is effective for moderate to severe persistent asthma in children under 5, following spacer device failure.
  • Sodium cromoglycate is no longer indicated for childhood asthma prophylaxis.
  • Effective nebulisation quality depends on validated equipment and appropriate breathing interface (mouthpiece or mask).

    • Impact:

    • Ensures appropriate use of nebulised therapy in critical asthma situations.
    • Improves treatment outcomes for severe and persistent pediatric asthma.
    • Emphasizes the need for correct equipment selection and patient technique for optimal therapeutic benefit.
