THE EFFECT OF AGE ON BRONCHODILATOR RESPONSIVENESS
Keyword(s):
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.
