Abstract

Background: To evaluate the effect of nebulized salbutamol used in the management of patients with asthma who have normal serum potassium and blood glucose levels.

Methods: Hospital based prospective study conducted on 30 children mild exacerbation of asthma who needed two doses of 2.5 mg nebulized salbutamol, 10 minutes apart for the relief of their symptoms will be include.

Results: The potassium mean was significantly decreased after 1 hour of nebulizer administration. The random blood sugar mean was significantly increased after 1 hour of nebulizer administration (p<0.001).
