    AbstractThe management of six awake, spontaneously breathing patients with acute severe asthma who responded to a subanesthetic dose of an inhalational agent is described. All of these patients were on maximal medical treatment, the next intervention likely to be tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in the face of further deterioration. All six patients initially responded dramatically, although one required mechanical ventilation after initial response.
