Article Synopsis
- Asthma is a prevalent chronic condition in children, but there's limited research on critical asthma that requires intensive care.
- This study analyzed the outcomes of 179 children aged 4-18 with critical asthma in a PICU between 2013 and 2019, focusing on the effect of pulmonary medicine consultations.
- Results indicated that patients who received pulmonary consultations had longer hospital stays and were more likely to escalate their medication and schedule follow-ups post-discharge, suggesting these consultations could improve asthma management.
