Treatment of Status Asthmaticus
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985To the Editor.— The recent report by Schwartz1describing the use of halothane to treat status asthmaticus unresponsive to other therapy serves as a useful reminder to the medical community.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1965
The life-threatening emergency represented by status asthmaticus points up the need for both specific and nonspecific forms of therapy in all cases of allergic asthma. Many of the common causes of death in this situation are iatrogenic. Among them are improper use of drugs, failure to remove sources of antigenic material (e.g., feather pillows), delay ...

Prevention of Status Asthmaticus
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1987Most episodes of status asthmaticus represent inadequate assessment of asthma severity and inadequate management.

Therapeutic measures include improved patient education and compliance, early recognition of the impending

Prevention of Status Asthmaticus
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978To the Editor.— Many lessons can be learned from the instructive article by Scoggin et al on status asthmaticus (238:1158, 1977), not the least of which is the value of prevention compared with the risks of intervention.1In terms of human suffering and of the serious risks involved, as well as of the medical services required and their cost, intensive
