  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Asthma is a prevalent chronic inflammatory airway disease.
  • Acute exacerbations frequently necessitate emergency department (ED) visits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical importance of understanding asthma presentation and management in the ED.
  • To highlight established and effective emergency treatment modalities for asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established emergency treatment protocols for asthma.
  • Emphasis on the continued efficacy of traditional asthma pharmacotherapies.

Main Results:

  • Beta-agonist, anticholinergic, and corticosteroid therapies remain the cornerstone of emergency asthma treatment.
