prednisone and Emergencies

prednisone has been researched along with Emergencies in 59 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Emergencies: Situations or conditions requiring immediate intervention to avoid serious adverse results.

Mean Change in Asthma Score at 2 Hours

The scale used is the Asthma Score published by Qureshi et al. The Asthma Score ranges from a low of 5 to maximum of 15 points. One to 3 points are given for each of 5 categories: age-based respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, wheeze, retractions, and dyspnea. For category detalails, please see the Qureshi reference. Scores of 5-7 are considered mild, 8-11 moderate, and 12-15 severe. Asthma Scores are recorded prior to any intervention and at 2 hours after budesonide inhalation suspension/albuterol intervention or saline placebo/albuterol comparator. (NCT00393367)
