3 6. PROTOCOL/ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES: Caution: CHECK for allergies and/or contraindications Drug Dose Route Frequency Salbutamol sulfate in Mild / Moderate asthma severity 1 to 5 years or less than 20 kg: 6 puffs (600 microg) 6 years or 20 kg and over: 12 puffs (1,200 microg) Inhaled via spacer Once only Salbutamol sulfate in Severe asthma severity* 1 to 5 years or less than 20 kg: 6 puffs (600 microg), or 2.5 mg via nebuliser Inhaled via 6 years or 20 kg and over: 12 puffs (1,200 microg), or 5 mg via nebuliser spacer OR Nebulised Once only Seek senior MO review* Nebulisers: Administer nebuliser, or via wall oxygen at flow rate 6-8 L/min. Dilute to 2-3 ml with normal saline, nebulise until entire solution consumed. Spacers: Patients with poor inhaler technique will benefit from the consistent use of a spacer device with their metered aerosol. Use of a spacer will also decrease the amount of drug deposited in the mouth and back of the throat, and therefore reduce the incidence of local irritation in susceptible patients. *Note: The most senior clinician should assess a child with life-threatening or persistent severe asthma, discuss management with local specialists and transfer the child to a Children s Hospital (NETS ) For further information on the management of Acute Asthma refer to Appendix 1: Algorithm Assessment & Initial Management of Acute Asthma 7. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS/INTERACTIONS 1 : Most common: headache, inhalation site sensation, nervousness Uncommon: cough, tremor, dizziness, hyperkinesia, nausea and vomiting, tachycardia, palpitations, increased respiratory symptoms, pharyngitis, bronchospasm, chest pain, hyperglycaemia, cramps, hyperactivity, insomnia, hypokalaemia, hyperactivity in children Interactions: Beta-blocking drugs, other sympathomimetics, imipramine, chlordiazepoxide, chlorpromazine REV 1 February 2015 Page 3 of 5
