Intervensjon / Behandling
Detaljert beskrivelse
This study will be performed in Assiut university Children Hospital and will include patients with asthma exacerbations presented to the emergency department for three months. All children presenting to the emergency department with mild to moderate asthma exacerbations will be assessed to decide if the child needs treatment with salbutamol. Before starting treatment the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM), vital signs, and oxygen saturation will be recorded. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) will also be recorded if the patient was 6 years or older.
Children with mild to moderate asthma exacerbation will be given the first dose of salbutamol and will be reassessed after 20 min by the emergency department attending. If further salbutamol is needed, subjects automatically will receive the second dose 20 min apart and receive either single dose of intramuscular dexamethasone (0.6 mg/kg to a maximum of 18 mg) or oral prednisolone for 3 days (1 mg/kg to a maximum of 40 mg), given orally .
A repeat physical examination will be performed, including oxygen saturation, vital signs, PRAM, PEFR after the 3rd dose of salbutamol and at the end of the third day to evaluate the effect of prednisolone and dexamethasone on the improvement of asthma scores. Patient compliance to prednisolone therapy for three days will be also recorded.
This study will be performed in Pediatric hospital - Assiut university and will include patients with asthma exacerbations presented to the emergency department for three months.

Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: dexamethasone
Dexamethasone is a long-acting glucocorticoid with a half-life of 36 to 72 hours .
It has been used safely in children with croup and bacterial meningitis .
It is well absorbed both orally and parenterally .Single dose of intramuscular dexamethasone (0.6 mg/kg to a maximum of 18 mg).
|
Effect single dose of intramuscular dexamethasone (0.6 mg/kg to a maximum of 18 mg) in the treatment of mild to moderate acute asthma exacerbations in children
|
|
Eksperimentell: prednisolone
Prednisolone is relatively short acting with a half-life of 12 to 36 hours, thereby requiring daily dosing.
Outpatient steroid therapy is effective once compliance is assured.. Prolonged treatment course, vomiting, and a bitter taste may reduce patient compliance with prednisolone.
Oral prednisolone for 3 days (1 mg/kg to a maximum of 40 mg), given orally in two devided doses .
|
Effect of prednisolone for 3 days (1 mg/kg to a maximum of 40 mg), given orally in two devided doses in the treatment of mild to moderate acute asthma exacerbations in children.

The Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM)
Tidsramme: PRAM score is assessed at the end of the third day to evaluate the effect of prednisolone and dexamethasone on the improvement of asthma scores.
|
The Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) , a validated, responsive and reliable tool to determine asthma severity in children aged 2 to 16 years, appears to be the most appropriate as an application in the emergency care setting . The PRAM score consists of five components and has a maximum total of 12 points: suprasternal retractions (0 to 2), scalene muscle contraction (0 to 2), air entry (0 to 3), wheezing (0 to 3) and O2 saturation (0 to 2) . |
PRAM score is assessed at the end of the third day to evaluate the effect of prednisolone and dexamethasone on the improvement of asthma scores.
