Abstract

Objective: To investigate whether
intranasal salbutamol has efficacy in pediatric patients with allergic rhinitis
with atopy.

Material and Methods:  Sixteen pediatric
patients (9 boy, 6 girl) with allergic rhinitis with atopy within age between 6
and 17 years were administered intranasal salbutamol and evaluated with
acoustic rhinometry before and just after the 
administration of the drug.

Results: There was a
statistically significant difference between CSA1 SD in both left and right
nasal cavities, and also in CSA1 area, CSA3 distance in right nasal cavity
before and after salbutamol administration.

Conclusion: Intranasal salbutamol
administration is effective in pediatric patients with allergic rhinitis with
atopy without side effect. Also intranasal salbutamol may be used as a rescue
medicine in acute nasal obstructions.

İntranazal Salbutamolün Allerjik Rinitli Çocuk Hastalarda Görülen Burun Tıkanıklığı Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Atopik alerjik rinitli
çocuk hastalarda intranazal salbutamol uygulanmasının etkisi olup olmadığını
araştırmak.

Gereç ve Yöntemler:
Yaşları 6 ile 17 arasında atopik alerjik rinitli on altı çocuk hastaya (9
erkek, 7 kız) intranazal salbutamol uygulandı 
ve ilaç uygulamasından önce ve hemen sonra akustik rinometri ile
değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: İntranazal salbutamol
uygulamasından önce ve sonra sol ve sağ nazal kaviteler arasında CSA(Çapraz
kesit alanı)1 SD(standart deviasyon) ve ayrıca sağ nazal kavitede CSA1 alanı ve
CSA3 mesafesi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı.

Sonuç: İntranazal salbutamol
uygulaması atopik alerjik rinitli çocuk hastalarda hiçbir yan etkisi olmaksızın
faydalıdır. Ayrıca intranazal salbutamol akut burun tıkanıklıklarında kurtarıcı
ilaç olarak kullanılabilir.
