A Case Report on Optimizing Prehospital Management of Pediatric Bronchial Asthma Exacerbations

This case report presents the prehospital management of an 8-year-old boy experiencing a severe bronchial asthma exacerbation. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of emergency interventions performed by a specialist emergency medical team, based on current international and national guidelines. The patient received nebulized salbutamol, oxygen therapy with a non-rebreather mask, and intramuscular methylprednisolone. Vital signs were monitored throughout the intervention. The applied treatment resulted in stabilization of the patient's condition and improved respiratory function prior to hospital admission. This case emphasizes the importance of rapid, guideline-based prehospital treatment in pediatric asthma and highlights the critical role of trained emergency personnel in ensuring positive patient outcomes.
