Q
  1. PT w/ extrinsic asthma may demonstrate
A
  1. early asthmatic response , within minutes after exposure and resolves with in an hour.
  2. late asthmatic response , begins several hours after exposure and last much longer.
  3. biphasic response, begin early but does not resolve

21
Q
  1. Intrinsic asthma
A

nonallergic or nonatopic asthma, episode cannot be directly linked to a specific antigen or extrinsic factor. these PT have normal serum IgE levels. onset usually occurs after the age of 40.

24
Q
  1. Indicators for asthma
A

wheezing, recurrent cough, difficult breathing, chest tightness

25
Q
  1. asthma symptoms occur or worsen
A

at night, awakening the PT, in a seasonal pattern, if PT has eczema, hay fever, or family history of asthma or atopic diseases. also if PT has a cold that goes to the chest for takes longer than 10 days to clear up.

26
Q
  1. asthma symptoms worsen in the presence of
A

fur, aerosol chemicals, change in temp, dust mites, drugs, aspirin or beta blockers, exercise, pollen, resp infections, smoke, strong emotions

27
Q
  1. Tests for asthma
A

FEV1, FEV1/FVC , PEFR

28
Q
  1. ***An increase in FEV1 greater than or equal to
A

12% AND greater than or equal to 200 ml after administration of a bronchodilator suggests reversible airflow limitation consistent w/ asthma.

29
Q
  1. Normal FEV1/FVC
A

greater than .75-.80. anything less than this indicates airflow limitation and asthma should be suspected. ( most hospital use .70 as normal)

30
Q
  1. An improvement of 60 L/min
A

or greater than or equal to 20% of the prebronchodilator PEFR after inhalation of a bronchodilator,

31
Q
  1. Also a diurnal variation in PEFR of more than 20% w/ twice daily readings, more than 10%
A

suggest a diagnosis of asthma.

32
Q
  1. other diagnostic test for asthma
A

inhaled methacholine or histamine
inhaled mannitol
exercise or cold air challenge
positive skin test allergen increases probability of dx of asthma
FeNO-increases w/ airway inflammation. normall 25 ppb in adults

33
Q
  1. Challenges in the differential diagnosis of asthma
A 
kids younger than 5
older children and adults
elderly
cough variant asthma
sick building syndrome
distinguishing asthma from COPD
34
Q
  1. clinical manifestations of asthma
A

bronchoconstriction

excessive bronchial secretions

35
Q
  1. Vitals seen w/ asthma

attain and maintain control of clinical manifestations
maintain normal activity levels
maintain pulmonary function as close to normal as possible
prevent asthma exacerbations
avoid adverse effects from asthma medication
prevent asthma mortality

41
Q
  1. Components of asthma management
A

component 1: develop PT/DR relationship
component 2: identify and reduce exposure to risk factors

component 5: special considerations

42
Q
  1. treating to achieve control
A

notion of step therapy

43
Q
  1. Primary therapies for asthma exacerbations
A

repetitive administration of rapid acting inhaled bronchodilators
early introduction of systemic glucocorticosteroids
oxygen therapy
continuous neb of short acting beta 2 agnosit in status asthmaticus

44
Q
  1. primary goal of treatments is to
A

relieve airflow obstruction and hypoxemia as quickly as possible, and to plan the prevention of future exacerbations

45
Q
  1. component 5 special considerations
A

pregnancy, obesity, surgery, rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, occupation, resp infection, gerd, aspirin induced asthma, anaphylaxis and asthma

46
Q
  1. ultra short acting bronchodilator agents
A

epinephrine/ adrenalin

racemic epinephrine

A

theophylline, oxtriphylline, aminophylline, dyphlline

53
Q
  1. status asthmaticus
A

severe asthma unresponsive to repeated courses of beta-agonist therapy, ie inhaled albuterol, levalbuterol, or SQ epinephrine, MEDICAL EMERGENCY

54
Q

% of acute severe asthma (SA) PT’s that also have a resp tract infection

55
Q

stage one SA

A

resp alkalosis, decrease PaCO2, normal PaO2,

asthma exacerbation

56
Q

stage two SA

A

resp alkalosis,even more decrease In PCO2,decrease O2 common ED finding

57
Q
