Abstract :Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of adding nebulized magnesium sulfate to standard treatment in children with moderate to severe acute asthma attacks. Methods: Pediatric patients admitted to the emergency department with moderate to severe asthma attacks were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group S received standard treatment, while Group M received nebulized magnesium sulfate in addition to standard therapy. Results: A total of 129 patients were included in the study, 86 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(66.7%); were male, and the median insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(minimum-maximum); age was 4 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2-8); years. When groups were compared, oxygen saturation at hour 1 was higher insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.024);, and the PRAM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(preschool respiratory assessment measure); scores at the 4th hour were lower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.008); in the group that received magnesium sulfate. The groups had no differences regarding any of the other parameters at the 1st and 4th hours insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. Conclusion: Adding nebulized magnesium sulfate to standard treatment in children with asthma attacks improves oxygen saturation faster and positively affects PRAM score at hour 4.
