Abstract
We compared the bronchodilator response of terbutaline delivered eithe r by a dry powder inhaler, the Turbuhaler, or by a metered-dose inhale r attached to a Nebuhaler inhaler in 10 children with stable asthma wh o were a to 6 years of age. The bronchodilator response did not differ between the two inhalational devices. The dry powder inhaler Turbuhal er is a suitable alternative to a metered-dose inhaler in the delivery of terbutaline to preschool children with stable asthma if adequate i nhalational technique is used.
