The spacer is also less likely to cause side effects (lower heart rate, possibly also respiratory rate, 1 study better oxygenation). There are no study results for children with life-threatening asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasons to use an oxygen-driven nebulizer instead of the spacer are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; severe or life-threatening asthma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Persistent low oxygen saturation &lt; 94%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treating children in the ER or in the hospital with a spacer instead of a nebulizer seems to be very applicable. Effectiveness of the spacers was also demonstrated for young children (&lt; 5 years). For practice, it is recommended to repeat &#8211; adapted to the patient&#8217;s response &#8211; the medication administration with a spacer in short intervals (every 10-15 minutes). The question of whether children with low saturation benefit from an oxygen-powered nebulizer system, given the results of the Cochrane review, is the question; Duarte&#8217;s study shows better oxygenation in the group treated with a spacer. For children with life-threatening asthma, the results cannot be applied without further ado, because this group was not included in the studies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ulf Arndt \u2013 medical manager Leiderdorp As long as there is still a high risk of infection with COVID-19, nebulization at the GP post remains under discussion.
