ASTHMA
DEFINITION
Chronic or acute disease ?
DEFINITION
• Common chronic disorder of the airways
• Characterized by
– Variable and recurring symptoms
– Airflow obstruction
– Bronchial hyperresponsiveness
– And underlying inflamation
In a class of 30 students, you can expect
2 to 3 students WILL have asthma
Etiology
• Extrinsic asthma
– Allergic or atopic asthma
• Intrinsic asthma
– Nonallergic or nonatopic asthma
Anatomic Alterations of the Lungs
• Smooth muscle constriction of bronchial airways
(bronchospasm)
• Excessive production of thick, whitish, tenacious bronchial
secretions
• Hyperinflation of alveoli (air-trapping)
• Mucus plugging and, in severe cases, atelectasis
Figure 13-2. The immunologic mechanisms in asthma.
Intrinsic Asthma
(Nonallergic or Nonatopic Asthma)
• Infections
• Exercise and cold air
• Industrial pollutants or occupational exposure
• Drugs, food additives, and food preservatives
• Gastroesophageal reflux
• Sleep (nocturnal asthma)
• Emotional stress
• Premenstrual asthma
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Vital signs
• Increased respiratory rate
• Increased heart rate, cardiac output,
blood pressure
Clinical Data
Figure 2-12. Percussion becomes more hyperresonant with alveolar hyperinflation.
Figure 2-17. As air trapping and alveolar hyperinflation develop in obstructive lung diseases,
breath sounds progressively diminish.
Chest assessment findings
• Expiratory prolongation 1:3, 1:4
• Decreased tactile and vocal fremitus
• Hyperesonant percussion
• Diminished breath sounds
• Diminished heart sounds
• Wheezing and rhonchi
Clinical Data
• General findings
• Use of accessory muscles of inspiration
• Use of accessory muscles of expiration
• Pursed-lip breathing
• Substernal intercostal retractions
• Increased anteroposterior chest diameter (barrel
chest)
• Cyanosis
• Cough and sputum production
• Pulsus paradoxus ?
Clinical Data
Pulsus paradoxus
• Decreased blood pressure during inspiration
• Increased blood pressure during expiration
Clinical Data
Paradoxical pulse
• = abnormally large decline in systolic arterial
pressure during inspiration
NONPULMONARY MANIFESTATIONS
• Signs of atopy or allergic rhinitis
• Skin atopic dermatitis, eczema, or other
manifestations of allergic skin conditions.

COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT
- Blood eosinophilia greater than 4% or 300-400/µL is
consistent with the diagnosis of asthma, but
- a normal value is not exclusionary.
- IgE >100 IU patients with allergic reactions
- test for allergic sensitivity :
- allergy skin tests (Prick test)
- blood radioallergosorbent tests (RAST).

HEART FAILURE
COPD
• Pulmonary Function Testing
-the degree of reversibility in FEV1 which indicates a
diagnosis of asthma is generally accepted as
≥ 12% and
≥ 200 ml
from the pre-bronchodilator value the administration of a
short-acting bronchodilator.

  • #27 What form ? There is a clasification of Asthma
  • #39 usually, the cough is nonproductive and nonparoxysmal. -children with nocturnal asthma tend to cough after midnight and during the early hours of morning.
  • #43 in the mildest form, wheezing is only end expiratory. in a more severe asthmatic episode, wheezing is also present during inspiration.
  • #44 Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside Other signs
  • #45 Severe asthma
  • #52 Total serum immunoglobulin E levels greater than 100 IU are frequently observed in patients with allergic reactions. Two methods are available to …to specific allergens in the environment
  • #74 -Gastroesophageal reflux - Obstruction of the upper airways and inhalation of foreign bodies - Dysfunction of the vocal cords - Non-obstructive pulmonary diseases (diffuse interstitial pneumopathy) - Pulmonary thromboembolism - Hyperventilation syndrome and panic attack.
