Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • increase or decrease of WheezeRate (the proportion of wheezing in the respiratory cycle)

    Characterize the dynamic pattern of wheeze rate (increase or decrease by 50% or unchanged) within 30 minutes of onset of therapy, and to correlate pattern to clinical diagnoses, severity assessment (accessory muscle use, oxygen saturation, inspiratory/expiratory ratio, severity of wheezing), and outcome (admission versus discharge).

    Duration (from beginning to end) of emergency department stay. On average, 3 hours.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • cough count (increase or decrease by more then 1 cough event or unchanged) in response to treatment

    Duration (from beginning to end) of emergency department stay. On average, 3 hours.

Study Arms (3)

Group 1: Patients ages 0 - 3

Group 2: Patients ages 3 - 7
