Abstract
The use of asthma assessment and management protocols enables many of the clinical problems associated with the treatment of asthma in hospital emergency departments to be overcome. Their implementation also serves an educational function when used by the junior medical staff who are usually delegated responsibility for the care of asthmatic patients in the emergency department.
