Introduction:
An 18-year-old woman came to the hospital due to respiratory distress. She has had asthma all her life. She appeared fatigued and cyanotic, and used her accessory muscles for inspiration. She was suffering from an acute ventilatory failure with severe hypoxemia.
Please refer to Clinical Application Case- 2 for further information.
