Status Asthmaticus, is a medical emergency, an extreme form of asthma exacerbation characterized by hypoxic and hypercapnic respiratory failure with resistance to standard therapy including inhaled selective beta-adrenergic agonists, low dose systemic steroids and usually responds to high dose systemic steroids with continuous nebulization of bronchodilators. Epinephrine, while not significantly advantageous in cases of mild to moderate asthma compared to standard therapy, can be significantly useful in cases of resistant, life-threatening asthma.
