About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Nebulized Versus Intravenous Magnesium Sulfate in Treatment of Asthma Exacerbation

A prospective study in Beni-Seuf University Hospital that was conducted on 123 adult patients with acute asthma exacerbations. Patients were classified into group (I): received IV magnesium sulfate, group (II): received nebulized magnesium sulfate, and group (III): control group. Blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurement using a peak flowmeter, Fischl index and need for hospitalization in patients with acute bronchial asthma were done for all patients before treatment, immediately after the treatment, "30", and "60" min after treatment.

Read the detailed description

Inclusion criteria :

  • adult patients between the ages of 18 and 50 years with acute attack of bronchial asthma
  • from both sexes
  • Normal renal function
  • Normal cardiovascular function

Exclusion criteria:

  • Patients were younger than 18 years or older than 50 years.
  • Patients suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal disorder and heart failure

All patients were subjected to: complete history taking, blood sampling for serum magnesium measurement (on admission before the initial treatment and after the initial treatment) the patients were randomly separated into 3 equal groups each group consists of 41 patients.

The 1ST group has been managed by an initial treatment plan (consists of supplemental oxygen therapy to keep oxygen saturation higher than 90%., nebulization of 1 ml salbutamol respirator solution mixed with 9 ml normal saline solution for one session [Farcolin respirator solution: each 20 ml of Farcolin contains Salbutamol sulfate 0.121 gm. Made in Egypt, by: Pharco Pharmaceuticals -Alexandria], Intravenous administration of hydrocortisone 100 mg for a single dose [Solu-Cortef: vial contains powder of 100 mg Sodium hydrocortisone sodium succinate dissolved with 2 ml solvent of sterile bacteriostatic water for IV injection. Manufactured by: Egyptian Int. Pharmaceutical Industries co. (e.i.p.i.co.) - Egypt. Under license of: Pfizer]) plus a single dose (2000 mg) of magnesium sulfate prepared by mixing 20 ml of 10 % magnesium sulfate (2000 MG) [14] ,manufactured by Memphis Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries, with 30 ml of distillated water for injection to produce 50 ml of isotonic magnesium sulfate solution (324 MSOM/L) administered intravenously over 1 hour.

The 2nd group has been managed by the same initial treatment plan plus a single dose (2000 mg) of magnesium sulfate prepared by mixing 20 ml of 10 % magnesium sulfate (2000 MG) [14] ,manufactured by Memphis Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries, with 30 ml of distillated water to produce 50 ml of isotonic magnesium sulfate solution (324 MSOM/L). nebulized using jet nebulizer over 1 hour.

The 3rd group has been managed by the same treatment plan Without using magnesium sulfate. (a control group) the following were recorded for each patient at a fixed interval (before the initial treatment, immediately after the initial treatment, 30, and 60 min after the initial treatment):

  1. blood pressure, respiratory rate and pulse rate
  2. Peak expiratory flow measurement using peak flow meter.
  3. Fischl index for relapse and need for hospitalization in patients with acute bronchial asthma. [16[ .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma Attack, run by Beni-Suef University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improving pulmonary function tests as PEFR for asthmatic patients (time frame: 13 monthes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2023.
