Randomized Controlled Trial
Nebulised high-dose corticosteroids as add-on therapy for adults with asthma exacerbation: a randomised controlled trial.
Evidence regarding high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (HDICS) in asthma exacerbations in adults is insufficient. This study compares the treatment outcomes of HDICS as add-on therapy to the outcomes of standard treatment in adult patients with acute asthma exacerbation in the ED. ⋯ HDICS may be useful as an add-on therapy to standard treatment for asthma exacerbation in adults to reduce ED stay.
