15
Q

(acute severe asthmatic episode that is resistant to appropriate outpatient therapy):

  • Medical emergency that requires aggressive inpatient management
  • ICU for the treatment of hypoxia, hypercarbia, and dehydration and possibly for assisted ventilation because of respiratory failure

Q
  • Conjunctival congestion/inflammation
  • Allergic shiners
  • Nose crease
  • Pale violaceous/blue nasal mucosa
A

Signs of atopy or allergic rhinitis

17
Q
  • Accessory muscles of respiration are not used
  • The heart rate is less than 100 beats per minute
  • Pulsus paradoxus is not present
  • Auscultation of chest reveals moderate wheezing, which is often end expiratory
  • Oxyhemoglobin saturation with room air is greater than 95%
A

Mild acute asthma episode

18
Q
  • Accessory muscles of respiration typically are used
  • Suprasternal retractions are present
  • The heart rate is 100-120 beats per minute
  • Loud expiratory wheezing can be heard
  • Pulsus paradoxus may be present (10-20 mm Hg)
  • Oxyhemoglobin saturation with room air is 91-95%
A

Moderately severe asthma

19
Q
  • The respiratory rate is often greater than 30 breaths per minute
  • The heart rate is greater than 120 beats per minute
  • Loud biphasic (expiratory and inspiratory) wheezing can be heard
  • Pulsus paradoxus is often present (20-40 mm Hg)
  • Oxyhemoglobin saturation with room air is less than 91%.
A

Severe asthma episode

20
Q
  • Paradoxical thoracoabdominal movement
  • Wheezing may be absent (in patients with the most severe airway obstruction)
  • Severe hypoxemia may manifest as bradycardia
  • Pulsus paradoxus may disappear; this finding suggests respiratory muscle fatigue
A

Status asthmaticus with often imminent respiratory arrest:

21
Q

· Tracheobronchomalacia

· Hyperventilation syndrome

· Vocal cord dysfunction

· Pulmonary edema

· Collagen vascular disease

· Reactive airway disease

Pediatric Gastroesophageal Reflux

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Sinonasal Manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis

A

Other problems that can come from asthma

22
Q

· Spirometry: essential objective measure for establishing the diagnosis of asthma

· +-Eosinophil counts and IgE levels

· +-Bronchial provocation tests (specialized test)

A

Eval for asthma

23
Q

Pulmonary function testing: not reliable under what age?

A

<5

24
Q

· (3-6 y) and older children who are unable to perform the conventional spirometry:

A

Impulse oscillometry system

25
Q

· Normal forced vital capacity (FVC)

· Reduced forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)

· Reduced forced expiratory flow more than 25-75% of the FVC (FEF 25-75)

A

Typical findings of asthma

26
Q

Does a normal peak flow rate necessarily mean a lack of airway obstruction?

A

No

27
Q

o F/u q 2-6 wks until controlled; q 1-6 mo thereafter

A

Asthma follow up

28
Q

montelukast (Singulair)

A

Mast cell stabilizer
