Conclusions: Management Acute Asthma
-Salbutamol by MDI is better than by nebulizer
-Valvulate and non-valvulate spacer device are similar
-Salbutamol is equal to Leva-salbutalmol
-Bromuro ipatropio + salbutamol is better than salbutamol (moderate/severe exacerbations)
-Oral Corticosteroids is effectiveness only at the ED (not a home)
-Inhaled Corticosteroids is similar to systemic corticosteroids
-Nebulization salbutamol w/Heliox is better than w/oxygeno (severe exacerbations)
