1) When the rescue inhaler is innefective at reversing asthma symptoms.

2) When the individual is unconscious.

3) When the individual is having an asthma attack and there is no medication ready to be given.

4) If the individual's condition seems to be rapidly deteriorating (losing consciousness, turning pale/gray, breathing ceases, etc.)

The best response to this question, however, is: When in doubt, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number for assistance. Better to be safe than sorry, especially in children and elderly asthma patients.
