This live stream will raise awareness of childhood asthma deaths, promote safe asthma management and mitigate the risks of a fatal asthma attack, discuss controversies in acute asthma management, and present research findings on the experience of families who have suffered from a fatal asthma attack.
This multidisciplinary live stream will bring together GP's, paediatricians, allied healthcare professionals, emergency physicians, anaesthetists, and intensivists, who manage children with asthma to address the key question as to why children still die from asthma? Building on lessons learned from the avoidable deaths of young people, the speakers will discuss ways to improve the management of children with asthma, both long term and acute, to prevent further tragic deaths.
