The primary outcome16:29:17 was discharge from <strong>the</strong> emergency department. The16:29:20 line in <strong>the</strong> middle with one is neutral. If you're16:29:23 to <strong>the</strong> left of that, it favors metered dose16:29:26 inhaler with valved holding chamber. If you're to16:29:29 <strong>the</strong> right of that, it favors nebulizer. They16:29:32 found when <strong>the</strong>y did this meta‐analysis that16:29:34 metered dose inhalers with valved holding chambers16:29:36 was superior. It decreased admissions from <strong>the</strong>16:29:40 emergency department by 50%. They also looked at16:29:43 secondary indicators, such as clinical scores.16:29:46 That was improved, also. 1816:29:4816:29:51 This is ano<strong>the</strong>r large meta‐analysis in which16:29:54 randomized control trials were looked at, and <strong>the</strong>y16:29:58 divided this into different categories. Delivery16:30:01 of short acting beta agonists in <strong>the</strong> emergency16:30:03 department, nebulizers, and metered dose inhalers16:30:06 with spacers are equally effective. Delivery of16:30:09 short acting beta agonists in <strong>the</strong> hospital16:30:11 setting. No difference in pulmonary function16:30:13 response between nebulizers and MDI with spacers.16:30:17 And <strong>the</strong> outpatient setting, no difference between16:30:20 MDI and dry powder inhalers. They said <strong>the</strong> use of16:30:23 nebulizers has not been adequately studied in
