Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Significant research papers were published to assess different risk factors associated with development of status asthmaticus (SA) in children and prevention. Understanding the different risk factors associated with SA development in children will help in the early prediction of the cases that might develop SA in future which may cause death in few cases. Objectives: In this study, we aim to: 1) Evaluation of the various risk factors, etiologies that stand behind of status asthmaticus development. 2) Assessment of SA management in emergency department. Methods: PubMed database were used for articles selection. All relevant articles to our review with the following topics: Asthma, SA management, SA in children risk factors. We excluded other articles, which are not related to this field. The data will be extracted according to specific form in which it is going to be reviewed by the group members to assess the different risk factors, and management modalities of SA. Conclusion: Delay in seeking medical help, poor compliance to the treatment, multiple previous admissions, frequent chest infections, and obesity are major risk factors of complicating asthma in children leading to life threatening attacks (SA). Preventing the risk factors is major part of the management and it is as important as the treatment of asthmatic attacks.
