Acute asthma emergency visits stem from various causes, including undertreated disease and trigger exposure. Recognizing severe asthma phenotypes improves emergency care and treatment responses.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Clinical Phenotyping

Background:

  • Acute asthma accounts for millions of US emergency department visits annually.
  • Presentations range from undertreated disease to severe exacerbations unresponsive to standard therapy.
  • Many patients display both acute and chronic markers of severe asthma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe phenotypes of acute asthma presentations.
  • To review current therapeutic strategies for acute asthma.
  • To address challenges in managing variable therapeutic responses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of acute asthma phenotypes.
  • Analysis of current treatment guidelines and therapies.
  • Discussion of challenges in acute asthma management.

Main Results:

  • Identified distinct phenotypes of acute asthma presentations.
  • Reviewed existing therapies for acute asthma exacerbations.
  • Highlighted variability in patient response to conventional treatments.

Conclusions:

  • Recognizing acute asthma phenotypes can improve emergency care.
  • Current therapies may be insufficient for certain severe asthma presentations.
  • Addressing therapeutic response variability is crucial for effective acute asthma management.
