Abstract
Despite the decline in overall asthma mortality, acute severe asthma continues to be a significant challenge to clinicians. Patients with acute severe asthma present unique clinical features that require early recognition and aggressive treatment. The aim of this review is to describe the most current evidence that supports diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the management of patients with acute severe asthma in the clinical setting.
