History Lesson
![Page 4: Asthma in Children: New Approaches to Improving Outcomes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161cf550346895dd1c422/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Goals of Asthma Management
• Minimizing daily symptoms• Minimizing nighttime symptoms• Eliminating ER and hospital visits• Rare use of rescue inhalers• Normal activities• No school/work absences
![Page 5: Asthma in Children: New Approaches to Improving Outcomes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161cf550346895dd1c422/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What happens during an asthma episode?
The insides of the airways get irritated and inflamed
The linings of the airways get swollen
Irritated airways make more mucus
The muscles around the airways spasm and get tight
![Page 6: Asthma in Children: New Approaches to Improving Outcomes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161cf550346895dd1c422/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
inflammation and bronchoconstriction prevent air from reaching the alveoli

When do you suspect it’s asthma?
Cough
Wheeze
Short ofBreath

What can precipitate an asthma episode?
• Things called asthma TRIGGERS• Everyone has their own “recipe”…SO
• Identify triggers • problem solve ways to avoid triggers

• Symptoms• Nighttime awakenings• Use of beta agonists for symptoms• Interference with normal activity• Lung function• Consider use of oral steroids
Determining severity
![Page 13: Asthma in Children: New Approaches to Improving Outcomes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161cf550346895dd1c422/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Educate & have a plan
• Pathophysiology• Action Plan
• Assessment of symptoms• Appropriate response to symptoms
• Early and aggressive treatment• Plan for stepping up medications• Plan for getting help
![Page 14: Asthma in Children: New Approaches to Improving Outcomes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161cf550346895dd1c422/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Lack of Adherence• Check refills• Reeducate• Cultural issues?• Multiple caregivers?
• Poor technique in use of delivery device• Teach, return demonstrate, recheck technique • Prescribe according to ability
• Mishandling of meds• Not cleaning delivery device• Damage to product (heat, moisture)
• Funding for meds
Why would a plan fail?

• Reeducating the care community• Primary care providers• Emergency responders• Pharmacists• Respiratory care practitioners• School health team• Third party payors
• A new way of thinking for families• Daily treatment no matter what• Getting past the “steroid” word• Rapid response
• The place for specialists
Rolling out the plan…

weekly)• Are taken daily• PREVENT most asthma episodes• Help children live normal lives• Parents OFTEN do not give these medicines reliably.

Florida Asthma Program: 2009• 100% federally funded by the CDC• Goals
• increase the number of individuals with asthma who receive self-management education
• reduce the number of deaths, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, school or work days missed, and limitations on activity due to asthma.
• Facilitates the Florida Asthma Coalition• conducts asthma surveillance• program evaluation• works to increase the number of childcare centers, schools,
and hospitals that implement asthma management programs.

What’s our role?• Be part of the Florida Asthma Coalition
• Because asthma is an overwhelming problem• Because in 2014 they will be seeking more funding• The costs affect everyone
• Spread the word• School Health Guidelines• School recognition program• Childcare recognition program
• Teach parents• Early and aggressive treatment• Use of medications• Primary care not Emergency care
![Page 45: Asthma in Children: New Approaches to Improving Outcomes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161cf550346895dd1c422/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
