To determine pediatric asthma severity based on physical exam findings.

The PASS Score is applicable to pediatric patients 1-18 years of age and is calculated based on 3 parameters: Wheezing, work of breathing and prolongation of expiration. The PASS Score uses a cut off value of 2 points as indication for potential admission to PICU.

Do not use on patients >18 years of age.
