Abstract
We identified the following weak points: failure to determine the degree of severity; lack of specification of the details of the crisis (prior duration, treatment at home, supportive treatment); scant asthma background history; and deficient recording of respiratory frequency and peak flow. We propose improving the anamnesis, recording respiratory frequency, with the introduction of tools to measure peak flow, specification of treatment response, and the development of a simpler and more practical protocol, with the performance of a re-audit.
