✦ Synopsis

Summary We describe the use of intravenous boluses of salbutamol given rapidly (over 1–2 min) in children (5 __µ__g.kg^−1^) and young adults (250 __µ__g) with acute severe asthma who were not improving with doses of nebulised salbutamol. Intravenous boluses were repeated within a short time until improvement was seen. Two of the seven patients required tracheal intubation and ventilation.
