with varying levels of severity, characterized by exacerbations of
wheezing and coughing -Answer-Asthma
What would the general appearance of someone with an asthma
exacerbation look like -Answer-Pursed-lip breathing, chest tightness,
increased A-P diameter during episode, Diaphoresis

fields, depressed or flattened diaphragms
What would the PFT of someone with asthma look like -Answer-1.
Spirometry shows reduced flow rates
2. Post bronchodilator spirometry increases FEV1 at least 12% and
200 ml

Levalbuterol, Ipratropium or Tiotropium) consider continuous aerosol
Therapy
, -Corticosteroids (Oral or IV)
