Summary
French multi-society GRADE-based guidelines on severe asthma exacerbation in adults and children, produced by emergency medicine, intensive care and paediatric critical care societies. Twenty-one recommendations span diagnosis, pharmacological treatment, oxygen therapy and ventilation, patient triage and considerations in pregnancy. Evidence levels were mixed, with many statements based on expert opinion; strong agreement was achieved across all recommendations. Useful for PICU and emergency teams managing children with life-threatening asthma.
