airflow obstruction
chronic airway inflammation
IgE mediated. inflammatory disease
most common finding on cxr for asthma
normal
immune mediators in asthma
inhaled steroid
leukotriene modifiers- montelukast (singulair) (zyflo-ziluton)
mast cell stabilizer- cromolyn (nedocromil) (take 4 weeks to work)
bronchodilator
short/long beta agonist (long- salmeterol)
anticholinergic-ipratropium
magnesium
epi
intermittent
mild persistent
> 2 days/week
3-4 times per month at night
minor limitation
severe persistent
multiple times per day
every night
severe limitation
moderate persistent
daily
>1 time week but not nightly
some limitation
step wise approach to asthma
1- saba 2- low dose ICS 3- low dose ics + laba or med dose ics 4- med dose ics + laba 5- high dose ics + laba 6- high dose ics + laba + oral steroid
see patients every 4-6 weeks to see if controlled
if pt controlled well for 3 months then try to step down
follow every 1-6 months
side effects of inhaled steroids
kids- might be a little shorter
adults- can get recurrent canadiasis

difference between asthma and copd
asthma- primary cells eosinophils- cause hypertrophy over time
copd- primary cells neutrophils- carry proteases and oxidases that destroy lung
