Respiratory response and pharmacokinetics of intravenous salbutamol in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Abstract
The effects of iv salbutamol on respiratory mechanics were studied in six infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Salbutamol was infused at a dose of 30 micrograms/kg over 30 min in five infants; a sixth infant received 66.7 micrograms/kg over 4 min. Salbutamol caused improvement in total respiratory system compliance and in airflow resistance. There was no correlation between salbutamol serum concentration and pulmonary function. Elimination …
