'''Status asthmaticus''' is an [[Acute (medical)|acute]] exacerbation of [[asthma]] that does not respond to standard treatments of [[Bronchodilator|bronchodilators]] and [[corticosteroid]]s. Symptoms include chest tightness, rapidly progressive [[dyspnea]] (shortness of breath), dry [[cough]] and [[Wheeze|wheezing]].


The lung failure means that oxygen can no longer be provided, carbon dioxide can no longer be eliminated, which leads to [[acidosis]].
