Critical Bytes - Status Asthmaticus

Stay ahead with the latest 2025 asthma guidelines and advanced management strategies for status asthmaticus.

Status asthmaticus is a life-threatening emergency that does not respond to standard treatment with bronchodilators and corticosteroids. It requires rapid assessment and aggressive management to prevent respiratory failure, hypoxia, and death. Recognising the early warning signs and implementing evidence-based interventions is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

This interactive webinar, designed for critical care, emergency, and respiratory nurses, will provide an essential update on the 2025 asthma guidelines and the latest evidence-based interventions for managing severe asthma exacerbations in both adults and children.

Held on World Asthma Day 2025, this session will take a case-based approach, guiding participants through:

•  Early recognition of deterioration and red flags for respiratory failure

•  Optimising first-line treatments, including bronchodilator therapy

• Advanced therapies: non-invasive ventilation, intubation strategies, and refractory case management

• Best-practice critical care interventions to improve patient outcomes

Whether you work in ICU, ED, or respiratory care, this session will equip you with the latest clinical knowledge and practical skills to manage severe asthma emergencies from initial stabilisation and bronchodilator therapy to advanced interventions such as non-invasive ventilation, intubation strategies, and refractory case management.

Whether you are an ICU nurse, emergency nurse,  or any healthcare professional involved in managing acute asthma exacerbations, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide high-quality, evidence-based care in life-threatening asthma emergencies.
