Status asthmaticus: pathophysiological mechanisms and modern treatment methods

Abstract

Status asthmaticus is the most severe form of bronchial asthma, characterized by prolonged bronchospasm, hypoxia, and respiratory failure. This condition requires emergency medical intervention; otherwise, life-threatening complications may develop. Global and Uzbekistan-specific statistics indicate a rising prevalence of asthma-related diseases. Treatment primarily involves the use of beta-2 agonists, corticosteroids, and bronchodilators. Preventive measures and environmental improvements are crucial in reducing the incidence of the disease. This article discusses the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment approaches for status asthmaticus.
