Slide4Asthma
Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory condition of the lung airways whose cause is still incompletely understood.
Slide5Asthma has three characteristics:
Airflow limitation
which is usually
reversible spontaneously
or with
treatmen
t .
Airway
hyperresponsiveness
to a wide range of stimuli .
Inflammation of the bronchi
with
eosinophils
, T lymphocytes and mast cells with associated plasma exudation, oedema, marked smooth muscle hypertrophy, mucus plugging and epithelial damage.
Slide6Typical symptoms include
wheeze,
cough,
chest tightness
dyspnoea
Slide7Epidemiology
Â
The prevalence of asthma increased steadily.
that asthma affects 300 million people world-wide
an additional 100 million persons will be diagnosed by 2025.
Slide8World map showing the prevalence of clinical asthma (proportion of population (%)).
Data drawn from the European Community Respiratory Health Study (ECRHS) and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC).
Slide9Classification
Asthma can be divided into:
extrinsic
- implying a definite external cause
intrinsic
or
cryptogenic
- when no causative agent can be identified.
Slide10Extrinsic asthma
Most frequently in atopic individuals.
Atopy
or positive skin-prick tests to inhalant allergens are shown in 90% of children and 50% of adults with persistent asthma.
Childhood asthma
is often accompanied by eczema .
Slide11Intrinsic asthma
often starts in middle age
('late onset').
Â
Non-atopic
from extrinsic causes such as sensitization to occupational agents
aspirin intolerance
β-adrenoceptor-blocking agents.
Slide12Extrinsic causes must be considered in all cases of asthma and, where possible, avoided.
Aspirin-sensitive asthma .
In exercise-induced asthma,

Slide20Airway hyper-reactivity in asthma.
Slide21Changes in peak flow following allergen challenge. A similar biphasic response is observed following a variety of different challenges. Occasionally an individual will develop an isolated late response with no early reaction
Slide22Airway hyper-reactivity in asthma. This is demonstrated by bronchial challenge tests by the administration of sequentially increasing concentrations of either histamine,
methacholine
or
mannitol
. The reactivity of the airways is expressed as the concentration or dose of either chemical required to produce a certain decrease (usually 20%) in the FEV
1
(PC
20
or PD
20
respectively).
Slide23.
Slide24Diurnal pattern
Asthma characteristically displays a diurnal pattern,
with symptoms and lung function being worse in the
early morning. Particularly when poorly controlled,
symptoms such
Slide25Serial recordings of peak expiratory flow (PEF) in a patient with asthma. Note the sharp overnight fall (morning dip) and subsequent rise during the day. In this example corticosteroids have been commenced, followed by a subsequent improvement in PEF rate and loss of morning dipping.
Slide26Exercise-induced asthma.
Serial recordings of FEV
1
in a patient with bronchial asthma before and after 6 minutes of strenuous exercise. Note initial slight rise on completion of exercise, followed by sudden fall and gradual recovery. Adequate warm-up exercise or pre-treatment with a β

Slide33Step 3: assess inhaler technique

Identify and treat co-morbidities

Environmental Factors:
Action -
Advice on allergens avoidance
Animals outside the home (cats, dogs, hamsters)
Dust Mites: Allergy Waterproof Cases
Damp cloth and vacuum
Home Humidity <50%
No carpets in the bedroom
Washing with hot water weekly
Pollens: Close windows in time of pollination
Snuff: Avoid smoking and passive exposure
Fungi: Remove mildew stains on the walls
Avoid wood stoves, smoke, air fresheners, etc..
