Objective: Systematize the evidence on the adverse effects of dexamethasone compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks who attend the emergency service. Materials and Methods: Systematic reviews were used as an observational and retrospective research design, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations, being an essential part of medicine and its related areas, such as nursing, and is based on evidence considering its Rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice. Results: In the data search, the adverse effects of dexamethasone were examined compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks who go to the emergency service. Of the total of 09 articles, 08 of them show that dexamethasone presents fewer reactions. adverse effects compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks presenting to the emergency department, patients who received dexamethasone were less likely to experience vomiting in the department, this is It is related to the fact that it is more palatable than prednisone, which allows complete administration of the medication and reduces emergency readmissions, also highlighting the lower cost (10-17). Conclusions: Dexamethasone presents fewer adverse reactions compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks who attend the emergency service, patients who received dexamethasone were less likely to experience vomiting in the service, this is related to the fact that it is more palatable than prednisone, which allows complete administration of the medication and reduces emergency readmissions.

Efficacy of the use of ondansetron compared to dexamethasone for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in post-operative patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-11-12) García de la Cruz, Gliria Nathalia; Hurtado Zarate, Lorena Fiorella; Bonilla Asalde, César Antonio
Materials and Methods: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 30% (03) corresponds to Iran, 20% (02) we find India, while 10% (01) corresponds to China, Pakistan, Taiwan , Mexico and Nepal respectively. Most of the randomized controlled trials have been studied, with 70%, mainly in the countries of India, Nepal, Mexico, Pakistan and Iran. Among systematic reviews we find India, China and Taiwan, with 30%. Results: According to the evidence found, 40% of the authors report that dexamethasone is more effective than ondansetron in preventing nausea and vomiting in the postoperative period. 10% report that ondansetron is more effective than dexamethasone due to its rapid action, but if it is combined with dexamethasone it is more effective than when administered alone and 50% of the authors report that the combination of both drugs is effective for prevention of nausea and vomiting in post-operative patients. Conclusions: It was evident in the reviewed research that there is efficacy of ondansetron, dexamethasone and the administration of both drugs for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in post-operative patients.
