Abstract
Background: Significant research papers were published to assess different risk factors associated with development of status asthmaticus (SA) in children and prevention. Understanding the different risk factors associated with SA development in children will help in the early prediction of the cases that might develop SA in future which may cause death in few cases. Objectives: In this study, we aimed at evaluating the various risk factors, etiologies that stand behind of status asthmaticus development and Assessment of SA management in emergency department. Methods: PubMed database were used for articles selection. All relevant articles related to our review were chosen to cover the following topics: Asthma, SA management, SA in children risk factors. We excluded other articles, which are not related tour objectives . The data have been extracted according to specific form to be reviewed by the group members to assess the different risk factors, and management modalities of SA. Conclusion: Delay in seeking medical help, poor compliance to the treatment, multiple previous admissions, frequent chest infections, and obesity are major risk factors of complicating asthma in children leading to life threatening attacks (SA). Preventing the risk factors is major task of the management and it is as important as the treatment of asthmatic attacks.
