  • Title: Current options in the treatment of acute bronchospasm.
    Author: Berger WE.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 2005 Dec; 118(6 Suppl Acute):18-26. PubMed ID: 19667712.
    Abstract:
    Asthma therapy has evolved significantly in the last 40 years from that used for primarily symptomatic relief to that which incorporates short-term relief agents, long-term preventive medications, and exacerbation relief products. Agents can now be prescribed for routine as well as emergency care. Continued development of medications are likely to offer patients better agents for control of their illness and mitigate occurrence of acute exacerbations. Better control allows for better patient health, reduced number of physician and emergency department visits, and reduced health care costs.
