List of nebulization pitfalls
◼ Indication
o Nebulization for upper airway symptoms
o Steroid inhalation as reliever for acute airway symptoms
o ‘Package system’
◼ Device
o ...
◼ Drug
o Nebulized non-nebulization drug (injection drug, oral drug)
o ‘Routine’ mix drug combination: -agonist, steroid,
mucolytic – underdose each
◼ Do NOT ‘diluting’ the drug

◼ Reduced hospitalization
◼ Prevent early relaps
◼ Reduce the morbidity of illness

◼ Hyperemia and hyper-perfusion are consistent features
of inflammation.
◼ Asthma, therefore, is expected to be associated with an

Background:
We investigated whether budesonide inhalation suspension (BIS)
could replace IV steroid for the treatment of moderate acute
asthma.
Results:
• No significant differences: severity of attacks, duration of
management, therapeutic efficacy, duration of wheezing,
period of hospitalization.
• the frequency of inhalations on days 3-6 of hospitalization was
lower in the BIS group
• the cortisol level at discharge: BIS group (13.9 ± 6.1 μg/dL);
mPSL group (8.0 ± 2.1 μg/dL) --- (p = 0.008).
Conclusion:
• the efficacy of BIS > mPSL
• BIS treatment do not suppress adrenocortical function.
2015
Conclusion:
Children hospitalized for acute asthma, an additional
2 mg/day of nebulized budesonide significantly
reduced hospital LOS as well as the overall cost of
treatment.

Results:
• 13 RCT studies from 1998 - 2017.
• 9 nebulized >< systemic CS; moderate to severe
• 4 nebulized CS >< placebo; mild to severe
• The admission rate was significantly lower in severe
exacerbation (one study) and pooled four mild to
severe exacerbation studies comparing with placebo
(p 0.022).
• Other clinical parameters were significantly improved
with nebulized CS such as clinical scores, systemic CS /
SABA use, or shorter ER stays.
• 1 study fluticasone, 12 studies budesonide.
2019
Conclusion:
• Nebulized CS may offer an effective
therapeutic option for the management of
acute asthma in all severities.
• Nebulized budesonide is the preferred
corticosteroid.
