Primary Outcome Measures:

The proportion of patients showing improvement in asthma severity scores from severe at baseline to mild at the end of the treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change in asthma severity scores from baseline to end of treatment; number of patients needing hospitalization; number of rescue medications; oxygen saturation, number of discharged patients revisiting the ER/doctors clinic

Estimated Enrollment:	490
Study Start Date:	May 2002
Estimated Study Completion Date:	November 2003

Detailed Description:

A Comparison of Ipratropium 500mcg and salbutamol 2.5mg (Combivent UDV) and salbutamol UDV alone (2.5mg) in a Double-blind, Efficacy and Safety Study in Asthmatic Children with Severe Acute Exacerbation

Study Hypothesis:

Several studies, including a study conducted in an emergency room setting, demonstrated that the addition of ipratropium bromide, an anticholinergic drug, to standard salbutamol therapy significantly improves pulmonary function as compared to salbutamol alone.

Comparison(s):

Ipratropium bromide 500 mcg plus salbutamol 2.5mg (Combivent) vs salbutamol (2.5mg) alone given every 20 minutes for 3 doses

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	2 Years to 10 Years
