Introduction: Asthma is one of the most chronic long disease of childhood that caused repeated admitting in hospital & school day lost. Asthma identifies with recurrent attack of cough, dyspnea & wheezing. The goals of treatment are relief of Acute symptoms, prevention or diminish the frequency of recurrent symptoms maintain normal pulmonary functions & maintain normal activity level.
Materials and Methods: In our study, all patients with final diagnosis of asthma that hospitalized in Amir-Kabir hospital from 79.1.1 to 80.1.30 evaluated.
Results: first line drugs that used Aminophylline (62%), antibiotics 56%, corcosteriod 42%, inhaled salbutamol 14% and oral salbutamol 0.6%. others that used in the period of treatment according to prevalence are antibiotics 85% , aminophylline 74%, corticosteroid 5%, oral salbutamol 40%, adrenaline 31%, inhaled salbutamol 24% & theophylline_G 14%. Most of clinicians use aminophylline instead of beta agonist, Only 14%. patients receive inhaled salbutamol in the first line.
Conclusion: There findings reflect inappropriate therapy of asthma. It seems that little knowledge of clinicians about new medical methods, absence of new drugs and little knowledge of patients & their family of patients and their norriment about use of inhaled drug, are basic problems. That’s logical, that education of clinicians & patient their parents, explanation the mandatory of preparation of new drugs & proper device to manages can resolve their problems.
