Nurse-driven Clinical Pathway Based on an Innovative Asthma Score Reduces Admission Time for Children.

Unlabelled: We recently demonstrated that an innovative asthma score independent of auscultation could accurately predict the requirement for bronchodilator nebulization compared to the physician's routine clinical judgment to administer bronchodilators. We aimed to standardize inpatient care for children with acute asthma by implementing a clinical pathway based on this innovative asthma score.

Methods: We designed a nurse-driven clinical pathway.
