Pleth Variability and Asthma Severity in Children

Completed

Conditions studied: Status Asthmaticus

In brief

Research has shown that pleth variability can be used to assess asthma severity in children with status asthmaticus. The investigators would like to use an FDA-cleared monitor (Masimo Radical 7) which measures Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to see if the degree of PVI can be used to help triage patients who present to the pediatric ED in status asthmaticus.
