Hyperresponsive airways
Bronchiole obstruction
May be reversible in early stages
Can become irreversible (COPD) with subsequent asthma attacks
Main Characteristics
Bronchospasm
Edema in bronchiole mucosa due to inflammation
Excess mucus production
2 Main Types of Asthma
Intrinsic
Type I hypersensitivity to inhaled allergen/antigen
Family history of other allergy (atopic)

Usually start in childhood and may have a remission in adolesence
Extrinsic
Asthma with non-allergen triggers
Respiratory tract infection
Exposure to cold temperature
Exercise
Stress
Dehydration
Aspirin and other drugs
Onset is usually in adulthood
No IgE involvement, usually more severe, and often not responsive to pharmacological treatment
Clinical Manifestations
Wheezing
Cough
Dyspnea
Tightness in the chest
Tachypnea
Low SpO2
Diminished Breath Sounds
Diagnostic Studies
Detailed medical history
Physical examination
Pulmonary Function Tests
Peak Flow Monitoring
Chest X-ray
Arterial Blood Gases
Oximetry
Allergy Testing
Blood levels of eosinophils
Sputum culture and sensitivity
Nursing Management
Pharmacological
Short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists
Salbutamol
Terbulatine
Immediate response for acute use (4-8 hours)
Before exercise/other stimuli
Caution: rebound bronchospam if overused
Onset of action: minutes
Long-acting β2 agonist bronchodilators
Salmeterol (Serevent)
12 hours duration
nocturnal and poorly controlled asthma
combined with inhaled corticosteroid
Anti-inflammatory drugs
Corticosteroids (Fluticasone, Budesonide, Beclomethasone)
