Clinical Efficacy of Budesonide plus Terbutaline for Bronchiolitis:Observation of 162 Cases

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of budesonide plus terbutaline(aerosol inhalation) for bronchiolitis.METHODS: 162 pediatric patients with bronchiolitis were randomly divided into control group(n=80) and trial group(n=82).Both groups received anti-infective,antiviral,antiasthmatic,phlegm-dissipating therapy plus oxygen inhalation;however,the trial group was administered with add-on budesonide suspension plus terbutaline atomized liquid(aerosol inhalation).The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups and the data were treated statistically.RESULTS: The trial group was significantly better than the control group with regard to the extinction time of cough,wheezing and lung rales,relief of asthmatic suffocation,shortening of course of treatment(P0.01) and the cure rate in the trial group was higher than in the control group(93.90% vs.61.25%)(P0.01).CONCLUSION: Budesonide combined terbutaline(aerosol inhalation) was proved to be of good clinical efficacy for bronchiolitis and thus the therapy is worth of clinical popularization.
