Acute exacerbation of asthma: Management

There are many guidelines created for management of acute exacerbation of asthma. The management will be based on the classification of the severity. One guideline may be used to supplement, rather than substitute for, professional judgement and may be changed depending upon individual's need.

Acute exacerbation of asthma (AEBA) : Classification




Classification of acute exacerbation of asthma is based on the severity. This classification is important to determine the management, for example, wether the patient should be treated in the red zone or yellow zone/asthma bay, wether the patient can be discharge home or have to be admitted in ward or ICU, or wether the patient need ventilation support or not.
