Brief Summary  

In hospital, nebuliser and MDI-spacer are two mainstay aerosol drug delivery method for β 2 agonists administration, but due to the lack of awareness and lack of understanding of the inhalational technique MDI –spacer is not commonly employed in the acute management. However, in clinical routine and under the supervision of trained pro­fessionals, the MDI-spacer technique may be just as effec­tive as nebulisation. Although the efficacy of nebulization is broadly acknowledged, the method has several disadvan­tages. Studies show that nebulization may be ineffective in delivering aerosolized medicine compared to the combina­tion MDI-spacer.In case of acute wheezing current guidelines recommend the use of short-acting bronchodilators (β 2 agonists) inhalation to reverse airflow obstruction and treat patients. That being said, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of levosalbutamol aerosol therapy given via MDI-spacer to that given via nebulizer in hospitalised children with wheezing by using pulmonary score.
