I would be surprised if you encounter asthmatics as a routine in the field, but it concerns me that my son may have an unusually severe asthma attic as a result of trauma. While I am normally calm in the face of an emergency, that possibility is one I have been concerned about as he grows older and takes more risks. To date, the nebulizer has stabilized him enough to get him to the hospital, but I am not sure what to do if it didn't, other than call 911 and/or DRIVE, depending on the sitaution. I keep praying he will outgrow this, but he is almost thirteen and it hasn't lessened in severity.
I would also be interested in treatments for adult asthmatics. Attacks are infrequent, but severe for mid-30's male, non-smoker, rare drinker. Previous history of severe allergic reactions, pericarditis, frequent sinusitis (steriod spray). Runs, walks, arm routine nightly 1-2 hours. Percursors include "allergy eyes"- swollen,puffy, grey pouches beneath eyes.
