INHALATION-THERAPY WITH MAGNESIUM-SULFATE AND SALBUTAMOL SULFATE IN BRONCHIAL-ASTHMA

Inhalation therapy with magnesium sulfate and salbutamol sulfate was a pplied to two groups, each consisting of 20 patients with acute asthma . The effects of inhaled magnesium sulfate and salbutamol sulfate were compared. The evaluation of patients was done using respiratory score , peak expiratory flow rate with a Wright peak flow meter, respiration rate, heart rate and blood pressure. Although magnesium-sulfate's bro nchodilating effect continued for approximately one hour, treatment of acute asthma using salbutamol sulfate inhalation was found to be more successful and its effect continued for six hours.
