, What are the major pathophysiologic characteristics associated with asthma - correct ans:Wheezing,
SOB, Chest tightness, Cough. Contraction of airway smooth muscle, increased mucus production, airway
edema, remodeling
Asthma - correct ans:Characterized by variable, reversible episodes of brochoconstriction, late
inflammation and bronchospasm
What are precipitating factors and triggers associated with asthma? - correct ans:Exercise, allergen
exposure, weather changes, respiratory infection
After a diagnosis is made, what factors are used to determine the components of severity? - correct
ans:Daytime asthma symptoms > 2X per week, nighttime awakenings, reliever for symptoms > 2X per
week, activity limitation d/t asthma
What are quick relief meds? - correct ans:1) bronchodilators: Short acting beta agonists (SABA), Short
acting anticholinergics (SAMA), 2) systemic corticosteroids
Long term controller meds for asthma? - correct ans:Anti inflammatory, Bronchodilators, Long acting
anticholinergics (LAMA), Methylxanthines
Why is theophylline out of favor? - correct ans:Use is limited due to narrow therapeutic window,
multiple drug interactions, questionable efficacy, and adverse effects
Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS) - correct ans:Potent anti-inflammatory agent, they decrease airway
inflammation, attenuate airway hyperresponsiveness and minimize mucus production and secretions
Examples of ICS - correct ans:Fluticasone, Budesonide, Beclomethasone, Ciclesonide
Long Acting Beta Agonists (LABA) - correct ans:Used as add-on therapy for asthma not controlled with
ICS alone. Works by stimulating the beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, resulting in a relaxation of
bronchial smooth muscle (bronchodilation) Benefits: improved pulmonary function, more symptom free
days, decreased need for SABA
