Intensive Asthma Therapy and Intravenous Magnesium Sulfate in the Emergency Department Management of Pediatric Asthma
Children who received IAT and IVMg in the ED for management of an acute asthma exacerbation had significantly higher odds of hospitalization without any improvement in the time to albuterol every 4 hours for admitted patients. The results of this observational study underscore the need for randomized controlled trials to determine the efficacy of IVMg for acute pediatric asthma.
