  • Title: Management of reactive airway disease.
    Author: Jaimovich D, Kecskes SA.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 1992 Jan; 8(1):147-62. PubMed ID: 1732027.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of lower airway obstruction is one of the most frequent causes of admission to pediatric intensive care units. Morbidity and mortality have noticeably increased during the past decade. Although the exact causes of the increased morbidity and mortality are not clear, factors that have been implicated include underdiagnosis, delay in referral to the hospital, and inadequate treatment, particularly excessive reliance on bronchodilators and too little use of systemic steroids. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology underlying the disease should lead to more effective management and decreased mortality and morbidity.
