Nebulised Adrenaline in Wheeze Associated Respiratory Tract Infections |
|
1. The title of the article should have mentioned Bronchiolitis in place of WARI, because the authors have studied children with the diagnosis of bronchiolitis. 2. The dose of 0.1 ml of 1:10000 solution of adrenaline for nebulisation does not seem to be correct. The doses used in the study are in variance to suggested doses of 3 ml of 1:1000 solution of L-adrenaline in cases with bronchiolitis(2). 3. It would have been more relevant, that a group was nebulised with normal saline. 4. The fact that 6/45 in adrenaline group, and 14/46 in salbutamol group required hospitalization because of non-improve-ment/deterioration, stress the importance of follow up of the children who were sent home after nebulisation.
