Thank You. I Am A Mother Of A Grown Woman,

thank you. I am a mother of a grown woman, who when twelve yrs. old, had her first severe asthma attack. I remember the pediatrician speaking with me and telling me that if the last of several drugs they had tried did not work, the next course of action would be to induce coma and send her to Sacred Heart Medical in Spokane, WA. Thank God it did work! My question is, since I did not get a clear defini
tion from the online dictionary, what exactly , does status asthmaticus mean? I can look in my Merk Manual for terms. Thank you!
