Summary
Asthma is a problem that affects many children and affects their physical health in addition
to having a social and financial burden on individuals, families and healthcare systems. In
our pediatric emergency department, nebulizers are still used for the management of asthma
and, with the poor resources of families, they have no option of treatment at home. In this
study, the investigators will compare the effectiveness of treatment through nebulizer versus
metered dose inhaler and spacer in children with an acute asthmatic attack seeking medical
care at the Pediatric Emergency Department of Suez Canal University Hospital.
