P219 Isoflurane therapy for severe refractory status asthmaticus in children

Life threatening asthma is characterized by progressive respiratory failure, though early treatment can prevent airway damage. Some patients with status asthmaticus do not respond to more common medications (b2 agonist, magnesium, anticholinergics). Isoflurane, an inhalational anesthetic agent with bronchodilation properties is a possible alternative treatment.
