摘要：

Asthma is the most common disease of childhood globally and acute asthma is the most significant risk factor for asthma-related death and chronic complications. This article will aim to synthesize the most up-to-date research and translate it into a more practical guide to managing acute asthma on a more daily basis. The use of clinical severity score is reviewed alongside the use of history and clinical findings in making objective assessments of patients presenting with acute asthma. Practical evidence-based pathways and a stepwise approach are provided for management of acute asthma in the home, outpatient, emergency, and intensive care settings. In doing so, popular myths are dispelled and practices in relation to management of acute asthma and use of asthma related medications are clarified. Having a standardized approach to management of acute asthma will bring us one step closer to reducing exacerbations and achieving the goal of having zero tolerance towards exacerbations.
