Book excerpt: As the series title implies each Clinician’s Desk Reference is a practical resource and a daily aid for physicians in the hospital setting and in primary care. Asthma is one of the most important chronic disorders in the developed world. Evidence from around the world shows the prevalence of asthma has increased considerably since 1975, and now affects around 7.2% of the world population (about 100 million individuals). In the UK asthma is now the most common chronic disease affecting all age groups with approximately 11% of the population being diagnosed as having asthma at some time in their lives. Understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of asthma has improved dramatically over the past 20 years. Along with this increase in basic scientific knowledge, randomized clinical trials have produced evidence to guide clinicians in how to manage patients with asthma. The book covers epidemiology, diagnosis and management, and takes a look at future developments. The authors highlight the under diagnosis of occupational asthma and emphasize the importance of effective patient education, particularly asthma action plans. There are ten clinical cases dealing with common diagnostic and management problems, frequently asked questions and appendices containing resources for patients and clinicians including useful websites, information leaflets and major references.

Download or read book A Clinician s Guide to Asthma written by Jordan Long and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the airways of the lungs. In asthma, airway hyper-responsiveness leads to recurring episodes of breathlessness, chest tightness, wheezing and coughing. There is no precise way to diagnose asthma. It is usually suspected on review of symptoms, whether these occur or worsen with exercise, or on exposure to allergens, viral infections or air pollution. Spirometry can be used to support a diagnosis. By avoiding exposure to air pollution, tobacco smoke, perfume and other chemical irritants, and respiratory infections, asthmatic episodes can be managed. Medications for asthma include fast-acting or long-acting. They are generally prescribed depending on the frequency of the symptoms and the severity of the illness. Bronchodilators, mast cell stabilizer, inhalatory corticosteroids and leukotriene antagonists are recommended for the management of asthma. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on asthma have been included in this book. It brings forth some of the unexplored aspects of this condition. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with pulmonology will benefit alike from this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects adults, children, and the elderly. Asthma has taken a toll on the economy of its sufferers, families, and health care providers. In the United States, approximately 23 million people have asthma. More than half of these individuals had at least one asthma attack in the previous year. This translates into an average of four days missed from school each year per asmthmatic child and two and a half days missed for work per asthmatic adult; 11 million outpatient medical visits; 2 million emergency room visits; nearly 400,000 hospitalizations; and approximately 4,000 deaths annually. In Maryland, approximately 12.9% of adults and 13.6% of children have a history of asthma. In 2007, asthma accounted for 9,800 hospitalizations and roughly 38,000 emergency department (ED) visits. Foreground: Students with asthma at a historically Black university were more likely to use the hospital ED than students with other chronic illnesses. A quality improvement (QI) needs assessment project conducted in the University Health Clinic (UHC) from February 2010 to April 2010 showed than 935 students with asthma visited the ED comapred to the 351 students with asthma that attended the clinic. The purpose of this project was to develop a Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) and a protocol for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) for clinicians in the UHC. Goal: The short-term goal for this capstone project was to ensure that clinicians adhere to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asmthma CPG in the UHC for the treatment and management of asthma. The long-term goal is to decrease the frequent ED visits by students with asthma. Plan: The Change Theory, "unfreezing, movement, and refreezing" in Marquis and Houston was used as a theoretical foundation to accomplish the plan project. Rosswurm and Larrabee's EBP Model was used to guide the implementation of the capstone project. The plan included a pre- and post-test and a self-education package based on the CPG. The pretest assessed the clinician's base knowledge.
