  2. Definition • Intermittent lower-airway obstruction that is reversible either spontaneously or as the result of treatment • Inflammation and edema • Bronchial smooth-muscle spasm • Mucous plugging

  3. Definitions • Asthma exacerbation: symptoms that require a change in medication from baseline • Status asthmaticus: increasingly severe asthma that is not responsive to drugs that are usually effective

  4. Epidemiology • 10% of children in the US: 5 million children under the age of 18 • Prevalence is increasing • Asthma morbidity and mortality is increasing • 50% have family history of asthma, rhinitis, eczematous dermatitis, or urticaria

  10. Deaths/100,000 population Arizona vs. US Asthma Age-Adjusted Mortality Rate 1991-98

  11. Risk Factors • Previous attack with: • Severe unexpected or rapid deterioration • Respiratory Failure (ICU/Intubation) • Seizure or loss of consciousness • Recent use of oral steroids or decrease in ICS • Frequent use of short acting -agonist

  12. Risk Factors • Two or more hospitalizations in the last year • Hospitalization or ED in the last month • 3 or more ED visits in the last year

  13. Psychosocial Denial or failure to perceive severity Depression Nonadherence Dysfunctional family Inner-city resident Risk Factors

  28. Important Additional Steps • Asthma education • Triggers, Adherence, Follow-up • Identify and treat comorbidities • Allergies, Sinus Disease, Reflux • Address Barriers to Care

  29. Childhood Asthma • Serious, common disease • Inflammation • Inhaled steroids are effective • Environmental and social factors are very important

  30. He who knows and knows that he knows is conceited; avoid him. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; instruct him.He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; awaken him.But he who knows not and knows that he knows not is a wise man; follow him.— Arab proverb
