The effect of administration of terbutaline on the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems was studied in ten children with status asthmaticus. Terbutaline (0.01 to 0.04 mg/kg of body weight) was given subcutaneously in multiple doses. A significant decrease in respiratory rate and in arterial blood pressure, with no significant change in cardiac rate, was seen only after the first dose of terbutaline. There was a decrease in mean arterial carbon dioxide tension and an increase in mean arterial oxygen pressure. There was gross clinical improvement following administration of terbutaline in nine of the ten patients. One patient who failed to respond to administration of terbutaline also failed to respond to intravenously administered isoproterenol. We conclude that terbutaline is effective in the treatment of status asthmaticus, with only modest effects on the cardiovascular system.
