[Status asthmaticus. Mechanical ventilation with association sodium gamma hydroxy-butyrate and pancuronium bromide (author's transl)].

The authors have added to the usual therapy (corticoids, antibiotics, bronchodilatators) of 13 cases of status asthmaticus the following association: sodic gamma hydroxybutyrate and pancuronium bromid so they have noted in every case of quick decrease of bronchospasm allowing the stopping of the mechanical ventilation.
