Brief Summary

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory illness which results in frequent wheezing, cough,reduced quality of life. Standard treatment for asthma attack includes oxygen therapy, β2-agonists (e.g. albuterol) and inhaled anticholinergics and corticosteroids. Although inhaled short-acting β2-agonists (SAB) is the initial choice to control acute asthma exacerbation, there are still some asthmatic children unresponsive to this management. The Global Initiative in National Asthma (GINA) does not recommend intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for routine use in asthma exacerbation especially in young children. But intravenous MgSO4 can reduce hospital admission rates in certain patients due to several effects e.g relaxation of smooth muscle,blocking acetylcholine. In addition,adding MgSO4 to nebulized SAB provides greater benefit in severe asthma exacerbation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • changes of lung function

    to observe changes of Forced expiratory volume in one second and peak expiratory flow in controlled asthmatic children after respectively nebulized MgSO4、albuterol and combination of MgSO4 and albuterol in lung function test.

    10minutes and 20minutes post-dose

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Nebulized magnesium sulfate alone effectively improve lung function

    10minutes and 20minutes post-dose

  • the number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    20minutes
