ReviewOutcome evaluation of early discharge after hospitalization for asthma.
This review is designed to assess the evidence around the criteria used to decide when it is appropriate for an individual with asthma to be discharged from hospital. ⋯ The available data for adults with acute asthma on the appropriate end points for discharge from hospital are inadequate to provide firm conclusions. Children with acute asthma should be considered ready for discharge when clinically stable on 3-hourly bronchodilator.
