Asthma exacerbations can be life-threatening, with a significant number of patients requiring ICU admission annually. The management of life-threatening asthma focuses on achieving effective bronchodilation and reducing inflammation through various therapeutic approaches. Key strategies include the use of inhaled bronchodilators, systemic corticosteroids, and, when necessary, mechanical ventilation to address hypoxemia and hypercapnia. The document highlights the critical nature of airway management and the potential complications that may arise during treatment.
