Abstrakt: purpose: Acute respiratory failure necessitating intubation and mechanical ventilation in patients with acute severer asthma is relatively uncommon, and there are few data available regarding positive pressure ventilation in critically ill patients with asthma. We therefore decided to evaluate our experience with the use of mechanical ventilation for acute asthma and to critically review previous reports on this subject.
