Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of budesonide inhalation suspension BIS to the standard therapy of albuterol ipratropium bromide and systemic corticosteroids SCS for moderate to severe asthma flares in children reduces asthma severity more rapidly than standard therapy alone
Detailed Description: Context Acute asthma is a leading cause of emergency department ED visits and hospitalizations Although standard therapy for acute asthma includes systemic corticosteroids SCS these drugs take many hours to have an effect Recent studies demonstrate that inhaled corticosteroids ICS may improve patients asthma severity more rapidly than SCS and may decrease hospitalizations Only a few small studies have evaluated ICS added to standard therapy for acute asthma in children

Objective To determine if adding the nebulized steroid budesonide to standard therapy including SCS improves patients asthma severity faster than standard therapy alone and leads to fewer hospitalizations

Study DesignSettingParticipants A double-blind randomized controlled trial of budesonide inhalation suspension BIS versus placebo for children 2 to 18 years of age who present to a tertiary care urban pediatric ED with a moderate to severe asthma flare

Intervention Participants will receive standard therapy including SCS albuterol and ipratropium bromide and will be randomly assigned to also receive either nebulized BIS or saline

Study Measures Differences in asthma scores vital signs and the need for hospitalization will be compared between treatment groups
