When a sudden asthma attack is when and in no mind to send the patient back to the hospital for treatment.

Asthma patients back to send the aid of the improper behavior to some extent, the transfer speed up the patient's death. Asthma attack, body extreme hypoxia, respiratory muscle work to maximize the inhalation of more oxygen and more excluded from the lungs of residual gas, to ease the body of the vital organs of oxygen, which is a compensatory way. If you send the patient back, chest and abdomen just compression, limiting chest breathing, increased systemic hypoxia, no doubt worse, may cause patients with severe respiratory failure, respiratory cardiac arrest.

Asthma, should reduce the mental stress, sitting or semi-recumbent position to take to unlock collar button, release the belt, to avoid abdominal pressure and unnecessary move. Clear nose and mouth secretions, keep the airway open. If elderly patients or existing heart disease, cardiac asthma may be, shall immediately sublingual nitroglycerin tablets or isosorbide dinitrate 1 to 2. If it is bronchial asthma, as soon as possible from allergens, there bronchodilator inhalation aerosol should be immediately to enable patients to 2 or 3 times. Once the heart stops breathing, artificial resuscitation should be as early as possible, to gain time for further treatment. Asthma severity, the need to intramuscular or intravenous injection, and oxygen, the majority of the disease after treatment can alleviate, or stable disease after medical personnel escorted to keep the patient on a stretcher or armchair seats, patient safety was conveyed to hospital.
