Asthmatics may develop a considerable increase in airways obstruction during the night or early hours of the morning. In most patients, this causes only mild symptoms. In others, the effects may be severe, resulting in sudden death. Greater awareness of the potential severity of nocturnal asthma, together with actual measurement of airways obstruction at the time of symptoms, might prevent some of these catastrophes. If patients are not getting relief with their regular therapy, they should be admitted to the hospital for organized management.
哮喘患者在夜间或清晨时气道阻塞可能会显著加重。大多数患者仅出现轻微症状。而对另一些患者来说，影响可能很严重，甚至导致猝死。提高对夜间哮喘潜在严重性的认识，以及在症状出现时实际测量气道阻塞情况，可能会避免一些此类悲剧的发生。如果患者常规治疗无法缓解症状，应住院进行系统治疗。
