Abstract:

【Abstract】 Objective  To evaluate the efficacies of Ventolin with Atrovent via nebulization inhalation for therapy of children with bronchiolitis. Methods  86 children with bronchiolitis, admitted to our department between March 2012 and March 2013, were equally randomized into group A and group B. On conventional therapy basis(including supplement of clear fluids and relief of the cough), group A received Ventolin, and group B were given Atrovent through atomization inhalation. Then the two groups were compared for the nursing effects after 10 days of inhalation. Results  After 10 days of therapy and nursing, the total effective rate was 95.35% for group A and 25.59% for group B. The difference was significant(P<0.05). Some adverse reactions involved in multiple body systems occurred in the course of therapy. The incidence of adverse effect was 9.3% in group A and 34.88% in group B(P<0.05). Conclusion  Both Ventolin and Atrovent inhalation may be effective to children with bronchiolitis, yet Atrovent can be better therapeutic results with less adverse reactions.
