The current management of the hospitalized asthmatic includes a number of respiratory therapy techniques, both diagnostic and therapeutic. These include measures to increase arterial oxygen content, monitoring of gas exchange, administration of bronchodilator aerosols, chest physiotherapy techniques, breathing exercises, and mechanical ventilation. While many of these are potentially helpful, some are misused or are not of proven benefit. This review is designed to acquaint the clinician with the procedures commonly used, their potential benefits, or lack thereof, and their possible hazards. Recommendations are given for the rational use of these techniques, based upon the experience of the authors.
目前对住院哮喘患者的治疗包括多种诊断和治疗性的呼吸治疗技术。这些技术包括提高动脉血氧含量的措施、气体交换监测、支气管扩张剂气雾剂的使用、胸部物理治疗技术、呼吸锻炼以及机械通气。虽然其中许多措施可能有帮助，但有些措施被滥用或尚未被证明有益。本综述旨在使临床医生熟悉常用的操作程序、它们潜在的益处或缺乏益处的情况以及可能的危害。根据作者的经验，对合理使用这些技术给出了建议。
