Effect of budesonide combined with salbutamol nebulization on pulmonary function and serum immune factors in children with bronchiolitis.

OBJECTIVE

This study set out to investigate the effect of budesonide combined with salbutamol nebulization on pulmonary function and serum immune factors in children with bronchiolitis.

METHODS

A total of 127 children with bronchiolitis who were treated in our hospital were collected. Among them, 59 were treated with conventional bronchiolitis and were included in the control group (CG), and 68 were treated by budesonide combined with salbutamol inhalation in addition to the conventional treatment that were included in the research group (RG). The clinical efficacy, disappearance time of cough, pulmonary rales, wheezing and dyspnea, hospitalization time, adverse reactions, lung function and serum immune factors of the two groups were compared.

RESULTS

Compared with before treatment, cough, pulmonary rales, wheezing and dyspnea of children in both groups were improved after treatment. Compared with the CG, the disappearance time of cough, pulmonary rales, wheezing and dyspnea in the RG was shortened, the hospitalization time and adverse reactions reduced, and the total effective rate increased. The tidal volume, peak-to-peak time ratio (tPTEF/tE) and peak-to-peak volume ratio (VPTEF/VE) of the RG were dramatically better than those of the CG, and the levels of IgG, IgM and IgA were better than those of the CG.

CONCLUSION

Budesonide combined with salbutamol nebulization is beneficial to improve the pulmonary function and serum immune factors in children with bronchiolitis.
