Asthma
• Inflammatory disease that affects the airways causing a reversible airway obstruction
• Intermittent attacks are precipitated by specific triggering events
• Causes a decrease in the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged

Asthma
• Asthmatic lung is more sensitive to lower doses of allergens
• Asthma has shown to have genetic predisposition
![Page 14: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Asthma Characteristics
1. Reversible small airway obstruction
2. Progressive airway inflammation
3. Increased airway responsiveness to stimuli
These characteristics translate into:1. Wheezing
2. Dyspnea
3. Acute and Chronic Cough
![Page 15: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Asthma Attack – 1st Response
• Triggered by an antigen-antibody reaction
• Causes degranulation of mast cells: histamine released
• Results in bronchospasm and mucus production that plugs the small airways
![Page 16: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Asthma Attack – 2nd Response
• Bronchoconstriction with delayed, sustained reactions
• Causes self-sustaining inflammation
![Page 17: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Goals of Asthma Care
• Sleep well every night
• Be able to go to work or school every day
• Be free from wheezing all day
• Have good control of coughing
• Be able to continue with activities and exercise
• Tolerate medicines well
![Page 20: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Asthma Therapy
• Know the triggers and try to avoid them
• Accurately use a Peak Flow Meter regularly

Discussion
Why is patient compliance such an issue with tuberculosis patients?
Answer: Length of therapy, side effects, inherent in some patient groups

Colds
• Bacterial sinusitis and otitis media are frequent complications warranting antibiotic therapy
• OTC remedies are often used for symptom relief
• Technicians should be knowledgeable about OTC preparations and be able to explain proper uses and side effects
![Page 97: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Antitussives
• Coughing clears the airways of excess secretions and foreign materials
• Antitussives can be useful for dry, nonproductive coughs by causing:
1. CNS depression of the cough center (reflex)
2. Suppression of the nerve receptors in the respiratory tract
![Page 98: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Cough Reflex
• Stimulated by stretch receptors and irritant receptors
• Follows a series of 6 events:1. Inspiration interrupts regular breathing rhythm
2. Thorax and abdominal muscles contract rapidly
3. Airway closes
![Page 99: Chapter 9 Respiratory Drugs Chapter 9 Topics Asthma Emphysema Other Lung Diseases Cough and Cold Smoking Cessation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dbe5503460f94ab1696/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Cough Reflex
4. Peristaltic muscular wave moves over the bronchi and bronchioles
5. Pressure forces the glottis open and the laryngeal muscles relax
6. Air flows outward, carrying mucus and foreign bodies
