"Fluticasone propionate 880 microg/day improved lung function and quality of life in adolescents with moderate-to-severe asthma when compared with flunisolide 1500 microg/day."9.09Comparison of the efficacy of inhaled fluticasone propionate, 880 microg/day, with flunisolide, 1500 microg/day, in moderate-to-severe persistent asthma. ( Eid, N; Goldsmith, LJ; Howell, L; Sheikh, S, 1999)
"We tested an aminophylline loading-dose protocol in which asthmatic patients presenting to an emergency department were given a half (3 mg/kg) IV loading dose based on total body weight (TBW) if they had taken a short-acting or sustained-release theophylline preparation within 12 or 24 hours, respectively, prior to arrival: otherwise, a full (6 mg/kg) loading dose was administered."9.06Aminophylline loading in asthmatic patients: a protocol trial. ( Marcus, RH; Parvin, CA; Stine, RJ, 1989)
"Forty-eight patients who presented with acute episodes of asthma were randomized to treatment with subcutaneously administered epinephrine, inhaled isoproterenol, or intravenously administered aminophylline."9.05Emergency therapy of asthma: comparison of the acute effects of parenteral and inhaled sympathomimetics and infused aminophylline. ( Fanta, CH; Goldstein, DH; McFadden, ER; Rossing, TH; Snapper, JR, 1980)
"Ninety-three patients presenting with acute asthma to the emergency department were studied to determine theophylline levels and their relationship to airway obstruction, history of prior medication use, and side effects of treatment."7.66Theophylline concentrations in the emergency treatment of acute bronchial asthma. ( Anderson, JA; Emerman, CL; Nowak, RM; Sarkar, D; Tomlanovich, MC; Yanari, S, 1983)
"Fluticasone propionate 880 microg/day improved lung function and quality of life in adolescents with moderate-to-severe asthma when compared with flunisolide 1500 microg/day."5.09Comparison of the efficacy of inhaled fluticasone propionate, 880 microg/day, with flunisolide, 1500 microg/day, in moderate-to-severe persistent asthma. ( Eid, N; Goldsmith, LJ; Howell, L; Sheikh, S, 1999)
"We tested an aminophylline loading-dose protocol in which asthmatic patients presenting to an emergency department were given a half (3 mg/kg) IV loading dose based on total body weight (TBW) if they had taken a short-acting or sustained-release theophylline preparation within 12 or 24 hours, respectively, prior to arrival: otherwise, a full (6 mg/kg) loading dose was administered."5.06Aminophylline loading in asthmatic patients: a protocol trial. ( Marcus, RH; Parvin, CA; Stine, RJ, 1989)
"In an effort to determine the optimal emergency therapy for acute episodes of asthma, we randomly, assigned 102 acute ill patients to 60 minutes of treatment with inhaled isoproterenol alone, isoproterenol plus intravenous aminophylline or isoproterenol plus a single oral dose of an elixir of theophylline."5.05Emergency room of treatment of asthma. Relationships among therapeutic combinations, severity of obstruction and time course of response. ( Fanta, CH; McFadden, ER; Rossing, TH, 1982)
"Forty-eight patients who presented with acute episodes of asthma were randomized to treatment with subcutaneously administered epinephrine, inhaled isoproterenol, or intravenously administered aminophylline."5.05Emergency therapy of asthma: comparison of the acute effects of parenteral and inhaled sympathomimetics and infused aminophylline. ( Fanta, CH; Goldstein, DH; McFadden, ER; Rossing, TH; Snapper, JR, 1980)
"Fifty-four episodes of hypercapnic status asthmaticus (Pa CO2 50 mmHg or more) were treated with intravenous theophylline (6 mg/kg over 30 minutes, then 1 mg/kg/hour), intravenous hydrocortisone hemisuccinate (1 g then 500 mg 4-hourly) rehydration and oxygen therapy at a sufficient rate to obtain a Pa O2 of 80 mmHg or more."3.67[Hypercapnic status asthmaticus. Rapid reversibility of hypercapnia under medical treatment]. ( Boissinot, E; Ginies, G; Perrotin, D, 1986)
"Vomiting is a common manifestation of theophylline toxicity and may limit the tolerance of orally administered activated charcoal (OAC)."3.67Poor tolerance of oral activated charcoal with theophylline overdose. ( Sessler, CN, 1987)
"Ninety-three patients presenting with acute asthma to the emergency department were studied to determine theophylline levels and their relationship to airway obstruction, history of prior medication use, and side effects of treatment."3.66Theophylline concentrations in the emergency treatment of acute bronchial asthma. ( Anderson, JA; Emerman, CL; Nowak, RM; Sarkar, D; Tomlanovich, MC; Yanari, S, 1983)
"Thirty-three chronic asthmatic children and adolescents on predetermined doses of theophylline preparations who arrived at the Emergency Room with an acute episode of wheezing were evaluated to determine compliance, and if therapeutic plasma theophylline levels (PTLs) facilitate the effectiveness of epinephrine."3.66Assessment of acute asthma in the emergency room: evaluation of compliance and combined drug therapy. ( Chryssanthopoulos, C; Laufer, P; Torphy, DE, 1983)
" This disparity reflects the greater bronchodilation effected by isoproterenol as a single agent than by epinephrine, in the dosing schedules and routes of administration chosen."2.66Treatment of acute asthma. Is combination therapy with sympathomimetics and methylxanthines indicated? ( Fanta, CH; McFadden, ER; Rossing, TH, 1986)
" In addition, the pharmacology of the drugs must be of such an order of complexity that there is not a simple relationship between dosage and serum levels."1.27Serum theophylline and phenytoin levels: can we afford to do them? Can we afford not to? ( Kuhn, G, 1986)
