Abstract

Background: ACUTE BRONCHIOLITIS is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infant and one of their hospital admission reasons. Due to the high prevalence of the disease and unclear effectiveness of existing treatments, the present study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of single dose of injected DEXAMETHASONE and INHALED EPINEPHRINE in patients with ACUTE BRONCHIOLITIS treated with inhaled salbutamol.Materials and Methods: In this double-blinded clinical trial, 90 infants with age of 2-24 months who were admitted to hospital with ACUTE BRONCHIOLITIS were studied. All patients received inhaled salbutamol (0.15 mg/kg) and then were randomly assigned to three groups (n=30) of DEXAMETHASONE (0.6 mg/kg), INHALED EPINEPHRINE (0.15 mg/kg) and control (distillated water). Heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR), arterial blood oxygen saturation (O2 sat) and respiratory distress scores (RDS) of children at baseline, 30, 60,120 minutes and, 24 hours after intervention were recorded and compared between groups.Results: The mean of HR, RR and RDS had significant improvement and the mean of O2 sat had significant rising trend and improvement during the study in all groups (p<0.05). The mean of HR in epinephrine group was upper than placebo in all measurements (p<0.001). RDS in epinephrine group was significantly upper than DEXAMETHASONE (p=0.002, CI95%=0.58-2.69) and placebo (p=0.014, CI95%=0.27-2.8).Conclusion: Based on the result of present study, it seems that INHALED EPINEPHRINE or injected DEXAMETHASONE have no superiority to placebo in treating infantile ACUTE BRONCHIOLITIS and their administration is not recommended.
