ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the successful treatment of severe asthma with respiratory failure. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the hospitalization data of 30 patients with severe asthma complicated with respiratory failure. Results: The glucocorticoid methylprednisolone was administered intravenously in the early stage. The inhaled fast-acting receptor agonist and low-dose theophylline were used to relieve bronchospasm. The tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were given in time. All 30 patients were treated. Healed and discharged. Conclusion: Respiratory failure caused by severe asthma often threatens life and requires urgent treatment. Intravenous intubation and mechanical ventilation can improve the success rate of rescue.
