Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main data obtained in this study are the EMG values **before and after treatment with Salbutamol in children with acute dyspnea.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcome measure is the degree of dyspnea. This consists of the Clinical Asthma Score, determined by the investigator, and the Borg scale, determined by the parents. Beside, EMG values of acutely distressed children will be compared with EMG values in healthy peers.	—
