Q

Late asthma response occurs how soon? duration? cause?

A

3-5 hours after exposer, lasts days or weeks, caused by release of chemical mediators from mast cells, macrophages and epithelial cells

Q

how do inhaled steroids work?

A

they bind to cytosolic glucocorticoid receptors and reduce eosinophils/mast cells in airway, they reduce histamine responsiveness

17
Q

when would you put someone on Singulair? (Leukotriene modifier)

A

maintenance therapy for asthma >1 year, prevention of EIA>15 years old, allergic rhinitis

18
Q

what do Leukotriene modifiers (Singulair) bind to?

A

plasma proteins

19
Q

Mast cell Stabilizers are used for acute phases? chronic?

A

chronic

20
Q

Mast cell Stabilizers mechanism of action

A

stop calcium influx across cell membrane from mast cell mediators, suppresses inflammatory cells

21
Q

are are mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn) given?

A

nebulizer

22
Q

Mast cell stabilizer example

A

cromolyn

23
Q

Beta-Adrenergic Agonists examples

A

Albuterol

Salmeterol (not given alone)

24
Q

Beta-Adrenergic Agonists mechanism of action

A

stimulate B receptors in smooth muscle which dilated bronchi (they stimulate B1 receptors in the heart which increases HR)

25
Q

Beta-Adrenergic Agonists contraindications

A

ischeminc heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, seizures, hyperthyroidism

26
Q

Beta-Adrenergic Agonists adverse effects

A

increased HR, tremor, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia

27
Q

Methylxanthines

A

cause direct muscle relaxation, induce diuresis, gastric acid secretion

28
Q

Methylaxanthines exaples

A

Theophylline, Aminophylline

29
Q

how doMethylaxanthines effect the heart

A

increased cardiac output, decreased venous pressure

30
Q

Anticholinergic drug examples

A

Atrovent, spiriva

31
Q

Anticholinergic drugs (Atrovent, spiriva) are used for?

A

COPD

32
Q

Anticholinergic drugs (Atrovent, spiriva) mechanism of action and how fast does it work

A

it drys everything, blocks muscarinic cholinergic receptors in bronchi, works quickly

33
Q

Combivent, advair diskus, breo Ellipta, Symbicort, Dulera are all what?

A

combo products

34
Q

what is ok for mild asthma attacks?

A

inhaled bronchodilators (albuterol)

35
Q

what is ok for frequent attacks?

A

oral or inhaled steroids and an inhaled bronchodilator

36
Q

what is ok for EIB

A

inhaled bronchodilators, inhaled mast cell stabilizer (Cromolyn)

37
Q

intermittent asthma

A

symptoms <2/week, <2/month at night

38
Q

mild persistent asthma

A

symptoms >2/week but <1/day, >2/month at night, Its effecting their acitivity

39
Q

moderate persistant asthma

A

daily episodes, effects activities >2/week, >1/WEEK at night

40
Q

severe persistant asthma

A

continual s/s, frequent episodes, limits activity, frequent night episodes

41
Q

when should a steriod be introduced?

A

if patient is having episodes >2/week even with beta2 agonist
