  Severe bronchial asthma: factors influencing intensive care management and outcome.

  James OF, Mills RM, Allen KM.

  Anaesth Intensive Care. 1977 Feb;5(1):11-8.

  Over a seven year period 2933 patients were admitted with asthma. Respiratory failure occurred on 106 occasions. A total of 26 patients died including 11 of the 106 who developed respiratory failure. The intra-hospital management of asthma is outlined. The experience is analysed to indicate those patients particularly at risk. These include those who develop pneumothorax, have associated chest infections or have recently ceased steroid therapy.
