Terbutaline was administered to eight ventilator-dependent infants with evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia to determine the potential for reductions in airway resistance. The drug was administered by nebulization through the endotracheal tube. Pre-treatment and post-treatment pulmonary mechanics measurements were performed. Patients had reductions in inspiratory (–14%, p = NS), expiratory (–47%, p < .05) and total (–24%, p = NS) resistances. Tidal volume increased 36% (p < .01). This study demonstrates that nebulized terbutaline can improve pulmonary mechanics in ventilator-dependent infants with evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia. |
