2 yr o asthmatic with bronchitis and rsv on inhaled albuterol every 3 hrs. pulse ox 180/92 and temp 103. is her heart rate too high even for albut?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safety of Albuterol: With the numbers you give, I am assuming that the child is being treated in the hospital. If so, with good nursing monitoring, continued use of albuterol should be safe. The heart rate goes up with fever as well as the medication. Children generally tolerate high rates. If the child is not in the hospital, struggling with the numbers you give, he/she certainly should be checked again.
