sthma is a complex genetic and environmental disease,
it is the most common chronic disease of childhood and
the most frequent cause of childhood disability, affecting 7.1
million (9.6% of) children in the USA. Nearly 60% of children
with asthma have one or more acute exacerbations each year,
Exacerbations are highest in young children, and decrease with
age.
Acute exacerbations are not entirely predictable and may
occur in any patient with asthma. Moreover, any severe acute
exacerbation may progress to life-threatening respiratory
failure. Clearly, Acute asthma exacerbations largely preventable
and an indicator of poorly managed disease. And exacerbations
are a significant public health burden. ED clinicians need to be
skilled in assessment and management of acute exacerbations
and in assuring that affected children have appropriate followup
for prevention of future episodes.
Acute exacerbations are a significant burden to patients and
to public health. So Optimal assessment and management of
exacerbations, includingappropriateescalationof interventions,
are essential to minimize morbidity and prevent mortality.
Objective:
The goal of this presentation is to review available
modalities for assessing and managing acute asthma
exacerbations in pediatric patients.
