Subjective include IZ, meds, sx, triggers, social hx (smoking), pets, etc. Subjective doesn't always correlate w/ objective. Any s/sx (coughing, wheezing, tight chest, does inhaler improve sx?) Sx include labored breathing, tachycardia, pulsus paradoxus, prolonged expiration and use of accessory muscles. Rhales/wheezes. Note general appearance. Mucus membranes. Potentially fatal attack includes central cyanosis and altered consciousness. ABG best objective assessment of maternal oxygenation, ventilation and acid base status. Not recommended as routine.
