In the course of the natural history of the disease, emergency department visits are due to episodes of asthma exacerbations secondary to known triggering factors and which are characterized by episodes of obstruction of the airway, conditioning hypercapnia and hypoxemia, impaired lung function, absenteeism school-work and impact on quality of life, complications such as pneumothorax pneumomediastinum, atelectasis, or congestive heart failure, to serious events from status asthmaticus to near-fatal asthma episodes, endangering life.
