Comparison of Two Continuous Nebulized Albuterol Doses in Critically Ill Children with Status Asthmaticus.

Conclusions: In our PICU cohort of children with status asthmaticus, use of 10 mg/hr continuous albuterol was associated with lower fluid bolus resuscitation without more adjunctive therapies. These findings support the safety of lower doses in this population. Prospective studies evaluating the efficacy and toxicity of specific continuous albuterol dosages in critically ill children with status asthmaticus are warranted.
