  Purpose

Terbutaline is a medication that is used to treat serious asthma attacks (status asthmaticus). The purpose of this study is to determine if terbutaline is effective and safe when given as a continuous intravenous infusion to children ages 2 years to 18 years of age. Children participating in this study are inpatients in the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of status asthmaticus and are receiving terbutaline as part of their routine care. Blood samples and physiological assessments will be used to determine how the body is using terbutaline and how well it is working.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Pharmacokinetics of continuous terbutaline infusion [ Time Frame: Prior to infusion; 20 minutes, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours post infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Modified Pulmonary Index Score (MPIS) [ Time Frame: Assess every 4 hours while IV terbutaline is infusing, continuing for 8 hours after the infusion is discontinued ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Physiologic parameters [ Time Frame: Prior to terbutaline, 20 minutes post, then hourly during infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Side effects [ Time Frame: Duration of continuous infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
