What do you do about an asthma attack?

This is a story about a high school kid who was suspended for taking another student to the school nurse during an asthma attack while the teacher twiddled her thumbs (almost literally; she sent an email). Leaving aside the idiocy of the bureaucracy, what do you do if someone has a severe asthma attack in front of you? If nobody has an inhaler, how can you help while you're waiting for the experts?
