简要总结
This study is a Phase I study to investigate the addition of inhaled Ipratropium bromide to standard therapy in the treatment of severe asthma attacks in children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Half of the subjects will receive inhaled Ipratropium, and half will receive an inhaled placebo.
详细描述
Status asthmaticus is an acute exacerbation of asthma that often requires treatment in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Standard therapies for status asthmaticus include corticosteroids and bronchodilators, typically albuterol. Ipratropium bromide is also a bronchodilator, but has a different mechanism of action than albuterol. The addition of Ipraropium to children in the Emergency Room with severe asthma exacerbations improves outcomes, so many PICU doctors treat patients with status asthmaticus with Ipratropium. However, two studies of children hospitalized in the general wards of the hospital (not the PICU) show that the addition of Ipratropium to standard care does not effect clinical outcomes. This study is a first step towards determining in Ipratropium is helpful in PICU patients (like it is in ER patients) or if it not helpful (like it is in general ward patients).

结局指标
主要结局
Time to q2 Albuterol
时间窗: typically 12-48 hours
In our PICU, status asthmaticus patients are initially treated with continuous nebulization of albuterol. Per a standard assessment/scoring system, the patients are re-assessed each hour. When the patient's symptoms have sufficiently improved, the albuterol is weaned to 2.5mg given every 1hr ("q1hr albuterol") and, subsequently, to 2.5mg given every 2 hours ("q2hr Albuterol"). This outcome will measure the interval between the initiation of continuous albuterol and the second dose of q2hr Albuterol.
次要结局
- Hospital LOS (length of stay)(This outcome is assessed continually over the course of the study, typically 48-120 hours)
- PICU LOS (length of stay)(This outcome is assessed continually over the course of the study, typically 24-72 hours)
