Lactic acidosis in children with acute exacerbation of severe asthma. 2007

Pulin B Koul, and Milan Minarik, and Balagangadhar R Totapally

This is a retrospective case series reporting lactic acidosis in four pediatric patients with acute severe asthma treated with nebulized beta2-agonists in a pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care teaching facility. During treatment with beta2-agonists, these patients developed lactic acidosis with a peak concentration of 5.2 to 13 mmol/l. Lactic acidosis improved within 24 h after discontinuation or decrease in the dosage of beta2-agonists. We conclude that the intensive use of beta2-agonists for acute severe asthma in children may be the primary and significant cause of lactic acidosis.

D000420 Albuterol A short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist that is primarily used as a bronchodilator agent to treat ASTHMA. Albuterol is prepared as a racemic mixture of R(-) and S(+) stereoisomers. The stereospecific preparation of R(-) isomer of albuterol is referred to as levalbuterol.

D001249 Asthma A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL). Asthma, Bronchial,Bronchial Asthma,Asthmas
D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
