Risk Factors
- Increase use of bronchodilator despite resistance,
- Frequent exacerbations despite the use of corticosteroids,
- Despite adhering to therapy, a peak flow rate of less than 10% from baseline,
- Frequent hospitalization for acute attacks,
- History of syncope or seizure during an acute asthmatic attack,
- Oxygen saturation lower than 92% despite supplemental oxygen,
- Airway obstruction is significantly reduced, resulting in severe impairment of air motion that leads to a silent chest with the absence of wheeze suggestive of an imminent respiratory arrest.
