Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized, controlled trial of nebulized terbutaline for the first acute bronchiolitis in infants less than 12-months-old.
Despite the common clinical practice, the available evidence on the efficacy of bronchodilators therapy for bronchiolitis is conflicting. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nebulized terbutaline in bronchiolitis as measured by improvement in clinical score, oxygen saturation or reduction in duration of hospitalization. ⋯ Nebulized terbutaline therapy does not appear effective in treating moderately ill infants with the first acute bronchiolitis.
