Twenty patients presenting to an A&E department with acute severe asthma were studied. Despite clinically severe airway obstruction few had raised catecholamine levels. However several patients with impending respiratory arrest had markedly elevated catecholamine levels, and relationships are demonstrated between these levels and other measures of disease severity.
对20名因急性重症哮喘到急诊科就诊的患者进行了研究。尽管临床上存在严重的气道阻塞,但很少有人儿茶酚胺水平升高。然而,几名即将发生呼吸骤停的患者儿茶酚胺水平显著升高,并且这些水平与疾病严重程度的其他指标之间存在关联。
