Salbutamol for viral wheezing in children
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses video recordings to see how well salbutamol helps children with wheezing caused by a virus. Researchers want to understand when this medicine works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing out)
- Your child was given salbutamol in the emergency department
- Your child does not need immediate lifesaving treatment
- Your child is not being moved to the ICU right away
- There is no sign of pneumonia or a foreign object in the airway

This study looks at young children (ages 1-5) who have had severe wheezing episodes that needed hospital care. It aims to find biomarkers (clues in the body) that could help predict which children might develop asthma later.
This study looks at different kinds of wheezing in young children (ages 1 to 5) to better understand what causes it and how to treat it. If your child has had wheezing more than once, this research could help find patterns that lead to better care.
This study tests if giving oral steroids (medicine to reduce airway swelling) only when needed based on a child's own biology can help preschool children with wheezing. It aims to find the best treatment for each child, avoiding unnecessary medicine.
This trial tests whether a short course of oral prednisolone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) helps young children under 2 who have wheezing triggered by a rhinovirus cold. It aims to see if steroid treatment can improve symptoms after an emergency visit.
This study tests if salbutamol (a medication that opens airways) helps adults with breathing failure caused by pneumonia, especially while receiving oxygen through a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). Salbutamol is given as a mist you breathe in.
This study compares two treatments for bronchiolitis in infants: a saltwater solution (3% hypertonic saline) and a common breathing medicine (salbutamol). The goal is to see which one helps babies breathe easier.
