Asthma exacerbation severity is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements, with different clinical indicators used for severe cases. Patients with severe exacerbations may not be able to perform PEF measurements due to rapid respiratory rate, relying on other clinical features for assessment.
