Patients with critical asthma represents a subset of patients requiring respiratory support beyond standard pharmacologic therapy. Management of respiratory support in these patients has evolved dramatically, with intubation rates decreasing from 6.9% to 3.4% between 2009 and 2019 while noninvasive ventilation use doubled and high-flow nasal cannula utilization increased from 11% to 52%. This narrative review examines current evidence and practical considerations for respiratory support strategies across the spectrum of pediatric critical asthma care. The pathophysiology of critical asthma creates unique challenges fundamentally different from other causes of respiratory failure. Dynamic hyperinflation from progressive air trapping and intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) development represents the cornerstone derangement, requiring ventilation strategies that seems divergent from those utilized in acute respiratory distress syndrome. High-flow nasal cannula provides benefit primarily through dead space washout and gas conditioning, while noninvasive ventilation offers comprehensive support by augmenting ventilation and offsetting intrinsic PEEP effects. When mechanical ventilation becomes necessary, controlled hypoventilation with acceptance of hypercapnia while maintaining pH > 7.20 has dramatically reduced mortality compared with historical approaches targeting normocapnia. Pressure-controlled ventilation may offer physiologic advantages over volume-controlled modes by providing more uniform gas distribution in airways with varying degrees of obstruction. A structured three-phase ventilation approach emphasizes initial hyperinflation clearance, followed by acidosis resolution, then careful weaning with attention to dynamic hyperinflation monitoring. Current survival rates exceed 96% for children reaching medical care, representing substantial improvement from historical mortality rates of 20-30%. Optimal respiratory support in critical asthma requires understanding that mechanical ventilation strategies in asthma differs from other respiratory failure etiologies, with dynamic hyperinflation management taking precedence over traditional lung-protective strategies. Future research priorities include developing severity prediction tools, optimizing noninvasive protocols, and investigating personalized approaches on the basis of emerging understanding of asthma phenotypes and endotypes.</p>","PeriodicalId":20919,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"819-840"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13569777/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148449020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the growing interest in therapies targeting the treatment of obesity, understanding the underlying biological mechanisms that drive inflammatory processes in this cohort is essential. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as transformative agents in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with a growing basis of evidence that their utility may extend beyond these indications and exert potent anti-inflammatory effects. In late 2025, the World Health Organization endorsed GLP-1RAs for obesity management, reframing how we contextualize care for patients living with obesity. In this review, we examine the immunopathological mechanisms underpinning obesity-associated asthma, and explore the biology of GLP-1 receptor signaling and the emerging preclinical and observational evidence supporting a direct role for GLP-1RAs in modulating pulmonary inflammation, airway remodeling, and immune cell activation. This could have important implications on future therapeutic directions. Key questions remain regarding whether any respiratory benefits are weight loss dependent or driven by direct immunomodulatory effects, and how GLP-1RAs should be positioned within treatment algorithms.

The majority of PPLs will have a benign aetiology; however, obtaining tissue to exclude malignancy can be challenging, leading to high rates of benign surgical resections or prolonged surveillance imaging. Over the last two decades, there has been rapid advancement in bronchoscopic technologies, with the adoption of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS), ultrathin bronchoscopes, electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB), virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) and robotic assisted bronchoscopy (RAB). These technologies provide access to lesions that are inaccessible by conventional bronchoscopic approaches, with diagnostic yields comparable to those of CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB). Whilst these advanced technologies offer a lower risk of complications than CT-guided TTNB, they are significantly more expensive. In addition, advances in biopsy techniques, such as transbronchial cryobiopsy, have further enhanced the diagnostic yield for PPLs.Recent data supports the potential for a one-stop 'diagnose and treat' approach, where advanced bronchoscopic platforms are combined with thoracic surgery and rapid onsite evaluation. This offers the potential to locate and diagnose nodules prior to potential resection, thereby reducing benign resections and shortening the diagnostic pathway. The therapeutic potential of these advanced bronchoscopic platforms is an active area of research, with the potential to deliver thermal ablation therapies and intralesional brachytherapy and chemotherapy agents.
