Concept Map related to Acute Severe AsthmaRelationship between the Key Concepts
Allergen, pollutants and other environmental substances are the cause of acute asthma, which results in blocking airways and resulting problem in
eathing. Wheezing coughing are the common symptoms of acute asthma patients. Antagonist beta is the most effective medication for asthma. Regular check-up and proper exercise may help the patient to recover from the severity of asthma (Lefebvre et al., 2015).
Clinical Manifestations
· Wheezing, coughing, feeling tired, problem in speech, shortage of
eath, blue coloration of lips and nail (Bonnelykke et al., 2014)
Pathophysiology
· Inflammatory cell infiltration like neutrophil, eosinophil, lymphocyte, mast cell activation, epithelial cell injury
· Development of IgE antibody (Schmidt et al., 2014)
Aetiology
· Exposure to various allergen, i
itant substances
· Environmental stimuli are also an important factor for asthma (Swystun et al., 2018).
Diagnosis
· Lung function test, chest X-ray, evaluation of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and heartburn, allergy test, evaluation of sinus, judgement of asthma severity.
Treatment
· Salbutamol, Flovent, Pulmicort
Prognosis
· Depends on age factor as old aged people are not prone to be cured easily
· Proper medication can give the relief for long term (Neame, Aragon, Fernandes & Sinha, 2015)
Course
· Long term control medicine: Leukotriene modifiers, inhaled corticosteroid, methylxanthines, oral corticosteroid (Kantor et al., 2016)
· Short acting: Beta 2 agonist, Anticholinergic
