Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the use of a machine called CPAP will help children with asthma breathe better. CPAP is a machine that produces airflow to help people with breathing problems. To use it, you will wear a mask connected by a hose to the CPAP machine. We believe that use of CPAP may be a treatment for children with asthma.
