Abstract
- Helium and oxygen gas mixtures (heliox) have become an area of renewed interest in pediatric emergency and critical care for the treatment of acute asthma exacerbations and bronchiolitis. After a review of recent literature on heliox, this article will provide an overview of delivery techniques. This article will primarily focus on heliox inhalation therapy and heliox-driven nebulizer therapy for acute asthma exacerbations. The emergence of heliox inhalation therapy for acute viral bronchiolitis will also be addressed.
