Summary
This study looked at 101 children aged 6 to 17 with moderate to severe asthma attacks in the emergency room. It compared two medications: standard racemic albuterol and a purified version called levalbuterol. The goal was to see which one improved breathing better and reduced the need for hospital admission. The study was double-blind, meaning neither the patients nor the doctors knew which drug was given.
