Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure ventilation efficiently improves respiratory distress in initial hours treating children with severe asthma exacerbation.

CONCLUSION: BiPAP seemed efficient in improving respiratory rate and oxygenation in our study. It does not seem to cause additional irritation regarding that HR was not increased in BiPAP group compared with non-BiPAP group. Overall, BiPAP ventilation is safe and efficient in treating children with severe asthma attack. PMID: 31806384 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
