Given the concerns expressed above, the approach adopted by the Australian Paediatric Respiratory Group, that is, "home monitoring PEF will be considered [in children J more than 6-8 years old who have persistent symptoms" and that "PEF monitoring be undertaken on a short term (weeks to ...
Background: Paediatric asthma usually presents with acute exacerbation and requires hospital admission and emergency management. The objective of this study was to compare the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) with salbutamol plus ipratropium bromide versus salbutamol alone in acute ...
Methods A retrospective review of children attending asthma clinic at a tertiary paediatric asthma clinic were carried out. Children underwent spirometry (Jaeger Masterscreen PFT Pro) using a pneumotachograph in accordance with ATS/ERS guidelines. In addition, peak expiratory flow (PEF) using a mini-...
