    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of inhalation bronchodilator administration methods compared to nebulization in pediatric patients with asthma attacks. Methodology: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, using the GRADE evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Results: The systematic review of 10 scientific articles, only 60% affirm that bronchodilators are effective either by inhalation or nebulization, therefore, 40% affirm that the inhalation route is more effective, this was found in the following database data Pubmed, Medline, Elservier, Google Scholar. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 60% (n=6/10) systematic review agree that the method of administering bronchodilators by nebulizer produced results that were not significantly better than inhalers with a spacer chamber in children with asthma attacks. . Inhalers may have some advantages compared to nebulizers for children with acute asthma.
