Abstract:
The goal of respiratory support in asthma is similar to the goals in other forms of respiratory failure: to support gas exchange while avoiding complications. The specific respiratory support goals for asthmatics are discussed in this article, as well as recommended ventilator adjustments to meet these goals.
