Brief Summary
Research has shown that pleth variability can be used to assess asthma severity in children with status asthmaticus. The investigators would like to use an FDA-cleared monitor (Masimo Radical 7) which measures Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to see if the degree of PVI can be used to help triage patients who present to the pediatric ED in status asthmaticus.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Disposition from ED
Determine whether a patient was discharged from the ED, admitted to an inpatient floor or admitted to the ICU.
4 hours
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Comparison to respiratory severity score
4 hours
Change in disposition within 24 hours

Study Arms (1)
Status Asthmaticus
Any patient presenting to the ED with status asthmaticus.
Eligibility Criteria
We will study patients who present to the pediatric ED at Cohen Children's Medical Center of NY with status asthmaticus.
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of asthma or reactive airway disease upon leaving the ED
- Greater than 10 kg
You may not qualify if:
- Patients in whom effective pulse oximetry tracings cannot be obtained
- Patients who are diagnosed with conditions other than asthma/reactive airway disease that are known to cause pulsus paradoxus
