Magnesium for children with asthma in the ER
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate through an IV helps children with moderate to severe asthma attacks in the emergency department. If your child is between 2 and 17 years old and still has trouble breathing after three puffs of standard asthma medicine, this study may be an option.
