Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Children will be divided in two groups using block randomization method. Children in group A will be nebulizer group, treatment will consist of 3 puffs of a placebo MDI with a spacer, followed immediately by a standard dose of 0.15 mg/kg of salbutamol in 3 mL of isotonic sodium chloride solution delivered by an oxygen-driven nebulizer at a flow rate of 6 L/min.
For patients in group B spacer group, treatment consisted of 3 puffs (90 pg per puff) of salbutamol MDI with a spacer, followed by 3 mL of nebulized isotonic sodium chloride solution. All treatments will be given at 20-minute intervals. For administration of the MDI, the investigator will dispense I puff of salbutamol or placebo into the spacer and held the mask on the child's face while the child breathed 5 to 6 times through the mask. This process will b-e repeated for a total of 3 puffs per treatment. All patients will be treated by the principal investigator, at end of treatment need for admission and pulmonary index will be noted.
