Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
When intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) was introduced in newborn infants with hypoxic respiratory failure from hyaline membrane disease (HMD), mortality was high and air leaks problematic. This barotrauma was caused by the high peak inspir - Long-acting beta2-agonist in addition to tiotropium versus either tiotropium or long-acting beta2-agonist alone for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Oct-2015
Long-acting bronchodilators, comprising long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) and long-acting anti-muscarinic agents (LAMA, principally tiotropium), are commonly used for managing persistent symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Combining - Long-acting beta2-agonists as an inhaled corticosteroid-sparing agent for chronic asthma in adults and children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2009
The addition of a long acting beta agonist (LABA) to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy can improve asthma symptoms and reduce exacerbations. The addition of LABA may also have an ICS-sparing effect and permit a reduction in ICS maintenance dose. - Long-acting beta2-agonists for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2010
Symptoms of bronchiectasis include chronic productive cough, wheeze, breathlessness and recurrent infections of the lower respiratory tract. Long-acting bronchodilators are being used more frequently in the management of people with this condition. - Long-acting beta2-agonists for chronic asthma in adults and children where background therapy contains varied or no inhaled corticosteroid
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2014
Asthma is a common respiratory disease among both adults and children and short acting inhaled beta-2 agonists are used widely for 'reliever' bronchodilator therapy. Long acting beta-2 agonists (LABA) were introduced as prospective 'symptom controllers' i - Long-acting beta2-agonists for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2013
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease that causes progressive symptoms of breathlessness, cough and mucus build-up.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Nov-2012
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by partially reversible airflow limitation. Many patients have little reversibility to short acting bronchodilators, but long acting bronchodilators are frequently advocated. - Long-acting beta2-agonists versus theophylline for maintenance treatment of asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2009
Theophylline and long acting beta-2 agonists are bronchodilators used for the management of persistent asthma symptoms, especially nocturnal asthma. They represent different classes of drug with differing side-effect profiles. - Long-acting FSH versus daily FSH for women undergoing assisted reproduction

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2016
Maintenance treatment with long-acting beta2-agonists and inhaled corticosteroids (LABA/ICS) can relieve asthma symptoms and reduce the frequency of exacerbations, but there are limited treatment options for people who do not gain control on combination L - Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) added to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) versus addition of long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) for adults with asthma
