RCT that included 98 children (0-6y). In contrast, nebulizers create a mist cloud that you breathe through a face mask and can take from 5 to 20 minutes to work. Because the overall admission rate was much lower in children with moderate asthma, it was much more difficult to detect a significant treatment effect.  PCSutcliffe  KJCunningham In addition to efficiently delivering medication, nebulizers break down mucus and secretions, making them easier to cough up. Preschool children who were admitted for virus induced wheezing or acute asthma . Because differences in the level of the initial PI score in the 2 groups might have contributed to differences in their rates of admission as well as the secondary outcomes noted above, we compared the groups again on the significant variables in Table 3 while controlling for baseline PI scores. Medication covered by Medicare in the US if used through a medical device (i.e. These drugs can be taken straight from an inhaler, but during an asthma attack they are easier to take using either a spacer or a nebuliser.

However, after controlling for these initial differences, patients in the nebulizer group still had 3 times the likelihood of admission compared with the spacer group. Compared with nebulizers, they appear to have less impact on heart rate and to be associated with a lower admission rate in those patients with a severe wheezing episode. These results suggest that there may be less systemic absorption of albuterol with MDI and spacer therapy than with nebulizer therapy. Interested in AAFP membership? Epub 2019 Mar 15. The use of multiple investigators may have reduced the chance of bias in terms of treatment decisions and determining criteria for admission.
