An asthmatic crisis is a very critical situation to be in, the person's life is practically hanging on a thread....I remember when I used to have constant crisis, I always wonder which day would be my last but GOD had his own plans for me as mercy kept on saying NO!!!
If someone is having a crisis around you, sometimes they would not be able to speak because they are not getting enough air and are struggling to breathe, once they tell you or point to where their inhaler is, rush to that place and get it.
Don't panic, gently close their nose so that air can't enter their nose then start pumping the inhaler into their mouth, 3 or 4 puffs at a time, after pumping the puffs, they will suck it in and you release their nose and give them some time to breathe.
If they are still gasping, you repeat the process again. If it's a mild crisis, they would gradually start breathing fine but if it's a chronic crisis, if you have repeated that cycle up to 5 times and they are still gasping seriously without relief then it's time to start raising alarm so they can be carried to the hospital for oxygen and injections.
Any hospital that doesn't have oxygen should not even be considered because the first thing they should do to the patient is administer oxygen before injecting other medications...the patient needs a source of air if not, they could loose their life.
A patient in crisis cannot talk or help themselves, their survival is always dependent on the people around them, please be kind to them I beg you🙏
I am an asthma survivor and GOD blessed me with a very good husband who treated my asthma till it cleared completely, GOD did but my husband was the tool GOD used🙏🙏
