Bronchodilator effect of inhaled ipratropium bromide in wheezy toddlers

I G Hodges et al. Arch Dis Child. 1981 Sep.

Abstract

Airways obstruction was measured before and after inhaled ipratropium bromide in 32 wheezy children aged between 3 months and 2 years 8 months using a total body plethysmograph and a modification of the forced oscillation technique. No relationship was found between age and incidence of response. About 40% of those under age 18 months had an improvement in lung function. This form of treatment may have a place in the management of the wheezy infant too young to respond to beta-2 stimulants.
