  • Title: Comparison of inhaled terbutaline administered by either the Turbuhaler dry powder inhaler or a metered-dose inhaler with spacer in preschool children with asthma.
    Author: Laberge S, Spier S, Drblik SP, Turgeon JP.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1994 May; 124(5 Pt 1):815-7. PubMed ID: 8176575.
    Abstract:
    We compared the bronchodilator response of terbutaline delivered either by a dry powder inhaler, the Turbuhaler, or by a metered-dose inhaler attached to a Nebuhaler inhaler in 10 children with stable asthma who were 3 to 6 years of age. The bronchodilator response did not differ between the two inhalational devices. The dry powder inhaler Turbuhaler is a suitable alternative to a metered-dose inhaler in the delivery of terbutaline to preschool children with stable asthma if adequate inhalational technique is used.
