APPENDIX 1 ( as supplied by the authors ) : Principles of assisted ventilation in the emergency department

his on line supplement is provided for the interested reader who wishes additional information on assisted ventilation in general and also additional specific details of assisted ventilation for the patient with acute asthma. The main key messages and recommendations for assisted ventilation for acute asthma can be found in the Canadian Thoracic Society Guidelines published earlier in this series 1;2 .
