The Spanish Pediatrics Emergency Society (SEUP) determined two assistance quality indicators for attendance of asthma exacerbation in Emergency Departments (ED): 1. A validated-score severity evaluation at discharge (standard 100%) 2. Respiratory rate and oxygen saturation registration on the medical record of the patients with chief complaint of breathing difficulty. In April 2012 a protocol on the management of asthma exacerbation was established in our Emergency Department.
