Abstract
A 25-year-old man with severe asthma was admitted to intensive care for mechanical ventilation. Conventional treatment with beta agonists, theophylline and steroids resulted in little improvement. Magnesium sulphate was used to reduce bronchospasm and airway pressure. This produced considerable clinical improvement, which facilitated weaning from mechanical ventilation.Entities:
