Abstract

Asthma is a common inflammatory disease of the airways that leads to significant hospital utilization and health care cost around the world. Despite published guidelines, the diagnosis and treatment of acute asthma exacerbation varies widely due to inconsistent compliance with guidelines. We will review the evidence, guideline recommendations, clinical presentation, risk factors, and management of acute asthma exacerbations, including standard and advanced treatment options for refractory cases.
