Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Therapy

Determine whether monotherapy with salbutamol in the inhaled bronchodilator treatment of moderate asthma exacerbations in children in the pediatric emergency department is not inferior to the combination of ipratropium bromide (IB) and salbutamol in reducing the rate of admissions

Secondary objectives 1

  1. - Determine whether inhaled monotherapy with salbutamol compared to the combination of ipratropium bromide and salbutamol in the bronchodilator treatment of moderate AE in children does not lengthen the time of stay in the PED. - Determine whether inhaled monotherapy with salbutamol is not inferior to the combination of ipratropium bromide and salbutamol in the bronchodilator treatment of moderate AE in children in the PED, in improving the clinical evolution at 2, 4 and 8 hours after starting the bronchodilator treatment according to Pulmonary Score (PS) and Oxygen Saturation (SO2) (Annex A). - Determine whether inhaled monotherapy with salbutamol compared to the combination of ipratropium bromide and salbutamol in the bronchodilator treatment of moderate AE in children in the PED does not increase the need for second-line treatments, readmissions in the following 72 hours, readmissions in the following 72 hours with admission and adverse effects.
