Asthma reactive airway disease
- related: Pulmonology
- tags: #literature
Diagnosis
- diagnosis of asthma includes typical symptoms and variable airflow limitation
- repeat PFT when symptomatic or withhold bronchodilators to diagnose patients suspicious for asthma with normal lung function
- diagnosis of asthma in patient already on controller therapy
- eucapnic volutary hypercapnea: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4963444/
- mannitol inhalation test for asthma diagnosis
- aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease
- treat premenstrual asthma with ICS and LABA
- exercise induced bronchoconstriction is decrease in FEV1 after exercise
Symptoms
- asthma in pregnancy are divided into 3rds
- 1/3 same, 1/3 improved, 1/3 worse
- use forced expiration to elicit wheezing in asthma patients
Assessing Asthma Control
- assess asthma symptoms over 1 month period and PFT every 3 to 6 months
- mild asthma, severe asthma, difficult to treat asthma
Treatment
- inhaled corticosteroid equivalents
- step up or down treatment in patients with increased or decreased symptoms
- asthma step up therapies
- SABA is not recommended for treatment of mild asthma
- use ICS formoterol as initial asthma treatment
- add LAMA to asthma treatment improves lung function but not symptoms
- Moores triad of asthma management
- Management of Life-Threatening Asthma
- acute asthma exacerbation
- long prednisone taper for asthma exacerbation
- continue normal asthma management except ICS LABA in pregnant patients
- treating asthma with bronchodilator acutely does not treat inflammation
- use bronchial thermoplasty to treat severe asthma
- dupilumab dupixent is used to treat oral corticosteroid dependent asthma
- dupilumab dupixent can have transient elevation in blood eosinophils
- start allergen immunotherapy for controlled asthma patients
