Abstract: Childhood asthma presents burdens on the child with asthma, their families, society, and healthcare. Inhaled short acting bronchodilators are the most common first line medications used to treat exacerbation of wheezing or asthma. Nebulizers and metered dose inhalers (MDIs) with spacers are among the most widely used devices to deliver these medications. Although evidence supporting MDIs as an efficient, more convenient and cost-effective way to administer inhaled medications to children, nebulizers continue to be seen as the gold standard for managing children under 5 years of age with exacerbation of wheezing or asthma.
