Overview
Status asthmaticus is an acute exacerbation of asthma that does not respond to standard bronchodilator and corticosteroid therapy. Symptoms include chest tightness, rapidly progressive dyspnea, non-productive cough and wheezing. Status asthmaticus if left untreated may rapidly progress to lung failure wherein, oxygen is no longer provided and carbon dioxide is no longer eliminated, which subsequently leads to acidosis.
