TY - JOUR T1 - Correction: nebulisers in childhood asthma (15 March, page 23) JF - Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin JO - Drug Ther Bull SP - 36 LP - 36 DO - 10.1136/dtb.31.9.36-a VL - 31 IS - 9 A2 - , Y1 - 1993/04/26 UR - http://dtb.bmj.com/content/31/9/36.2.abstract N2 - In our recent article we stated that “most children over 3 years old can take bronchodilator by an MDI” (metered dose inhaler). The statement was shortened at a final editing stage and is incorrect. It should have read “wheezy children over 3 years old should take their bronchodilator by inhalation rather than as a syrup or tablet”. Whilst even very young infants can be given bronchodilator by an MDI with a spacer and mask, few can manage an MDI alone before about 8 years old. Even at this age a dry powder device is often more suitable than an unmodified MDI. ER -
