Several aerosolized drugs are available for the management of reactive airway disease. Nebulized drugs are given directly into the airway, which minimizes the systemic effects of musculoskeletal tremor, anxiety, and cardiovascular stimulation in most patients. Although infants and young children can be given medication via a metered dose inhaler that has a spacer, these children may not generate enough inspiratory pressure to open the oneway valve on the spacer fully.

Young children (<3 yrs) can be trained to do forced expiratory maneuvers and appear not to respond as well to inhaled beta agonist. The finding may be underestimated in the study, because the patients received the same dose of beta agonist. Even though older children received less beta agonist per kilogram, they responded to a greater degree and did not reach a plateau in the dose response curve after the last nebulized dose. These findings should be considered in the dosing recommendations for beta agonist for the treatment of reactive airway disease.
