2 氣管擴張劑 茶鹼類 (theophyllin) 口服 aminophyllin, phyllocontin, theolan, theovent 乙型氣管擴張劑 (β-adrenergic agent) 口服 吸入,ventolin, berortec, bricanyl, meptin, salmeterol, formoterol 抗乙烯膽鹼 (anticholinergic) 吸入 iprtropium bromide, tiotropium bromide 抗白三烯接受器 ( 如欣流 singulair) 口服

4 Long-acting inhaled 2 -agonist recommended use As regular bronchodilators in patients taking moderate/high dose inhaled steroids daily. Useful in nocturnal asthma (single night time dose sometimes useful) Prolonged protection against exercise-induced asthma. No anti-inflammatory effect alone, therefore always use in combination with an inhaled steroid.

5 Leukotriene antagonists Inhibitory effect in allergen, exercise, cold air and aspirin challenges. Reduce asthma symptoms and ß 2 -agonist use and improve lung function in clinical trials (but less effective than inhaled steroids). No significant side-effects. Orally active.

33 Lin YZ, Hsieh KH. Metered dose inhaler and nebulizer in acute asthma. Arch Dis Child 1995;72: Aerosol treatment by MDI (with a valved holding chamber) proved to be superior to nebuliser treatment in terms of SaO 2 and some measurements of spirometry. Respiratory therapists working with children with severe asthma should be aware of the possibility of oxygen desaturation, especially when using room air as the driving gas for nebulization.
