Overview

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.
