Asthma, Emergencies, Monitoring, Physiologic, Vital Signs.Abstract
Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by reversible airway obstruction, inflammation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. While vital signs are crucial indicators of a patient's overall health, they play a particularly significant role in assessing and managing patients with bronchial asthma.
