In Reply.— We thank Drs McJunkin and Stallo for their interest in our paper. Their suggestion of using objective lung function measurements in young children and infants with acute asthma in the emergency department is impractical. The pulmonary index score we used includes at least one important lung function measure, namely, respiratory rate; this score also has been shown to be very reliable in children.1 Although we routinely use the peak expiratory flow rate in children in the emergency department, most of our patients were younger than 3 years of age and could not cooperate with this objective measurement.
