The document summarizes the signs and symptoms of pregnancy across the three trimesters. It begins with an introduction to the objectives and definitions of pregnancy. It then discusses the duration of pregnancy and divides it into three trimesters. For each trimester, it outlines the presumptive/subjective signs and the probable/objective signs. It also discusses some minor ailments that can occur during pregnancy, such as supine hypotension syndrome and varicose veins.
Management of bronchial asthma in children
This document discusses the management of bronchial asthma in children. It defines asthma as a chronic inflammatory airway disorder characterized by episodes of coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath in response to triggers. It outlines the clinical presentation of asthma in children and discusses alternative causes of wheezing. Diagnostic procedures and classifications of asthma control are also presented. The document recommends inhaled medications as preferred treatment delivered by various devices based on a child's age. It stresses the importance of education, monitoring, and follow-up to maintain asthma control. Acute exacerbations should be treated with oxygen, inhaled bronchodilators, systemic corticosteroids, and possibly anticholinergics.
Bronchial asthma
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing due to bronchospasm and airway obstruction. The symptoms are usually triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air or other stimuli and are at least partially reversible with treatment. It is caused by an inflammatory response in the airways mediated by TH2 cells and mast cells leading to increased mucus secretion, smooth muscle hypertrophy and bronchospasm. Common types include atopic asthma triggered by environmental allergens and non-atopic asthma triggered by respiratory infections.
Management Of Acute Asthma
The document discusses the assessment and management of acute severe asthma. It outlines factors that identify patients at high risk of near-fatal or fatal asthma attacks, including a history of previous severe attacks and adverse psychosocial features. It also describes the levels of asthma severity and recommends initial assessments including peak expiratory flow, pulse oximetry, blood gases and chest X-rays in certain situations to guide treatment decisions. Specialist follow-up is advised for patients hospitalized with severe asthma.
Bronchial asthma and management RRT
Made by Ranjith R Thampi. A decent powerpoint on Bronchial Asthma, a short summary on various presentations and treatment options starting at Primary health level. Was made mainly for Primary Health setup. I've also added options at higher centres and also a few references for latest drug modalities and use.
Bronchial Asthma in Pediatric
An old presentation that I made when I was an Intern in Pediatric department.
The presentation contains 71 slides. It discusses bronchial asthma in pediatric age group starting from the definition of bronchial asthma and its pathophysiology and ending by the management of acute attacks of asthma and long-term management of bronchial asthma patients.
Asthma
Adult asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by reversible airflow obstruction. It has been recognized since ancient times, with descriptions in Homer's Iliad and by Hippocrates. The understanding of asthma has evolved over centuries, with recognition of its inflammatory component in the 1960s. Asthma prevalence has increased 61% in recent decades and results in significant morbidity. It is classified based on severity and triggers. Pathophysiology involves airway inflammation, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. Common symptoms include cough, wheeze, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Physical exam may reveal wheezing and prolonged expiration.
MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE SEVERE ASTHMA
This document provides guidelines for the management of acute severe asthma. Initial assessment involves measuring peak expiratory flow, vital signs, and arterial blood gases. Treatment includes high doses of inhaled bronchodilators, systemic corticosteroids, oxygen, intravenous fluids and magnesium. Mechanical ventilation may be required if the patient deteriorates or is unable to be adequately ventilated. Close monitoring of peak expiratory flow, oxygen saturation, and serum aminophylline levels is important.

Know about Bronchial Asthma and Its Symptoms
What’s the one health issue that is gaining momentum in India with increasing air pollution?
Yes, you guessed it correctly.
It’s bronchial asthma or asthma, as you may know.
3% of India’s population, which corresponds to approx. 30 million people in India are affected by asthma. These figures comprise 4-20% of children and 2.4% of adults, as per reports.
Asthma Information
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes airways to narrow and become inflamed, resulting in recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. When the airways become inflamed, the muscles around them tighten causing less air to flow into the lungs. Sometimes symptoms are mild but other times an asthma attack occurs where symptoms intensify or additional symptoms develop. Proper management is needed as there is currently no cure for asthma, but most people can live normal, active lives with today's treatments.
How to avoid an Asthma attack emergency
The document discusses early warning signs of an asthma attack and how to avoid an asthma emergency. It notes that signs can include not feeling hungry, feeling tired, coughing often, headaches, dark circles under eyes, and wheezing with exercise. It emphasizes recognizing these signs to prevent an emergency and outlines additional signs like a persistent cough, measurable breathing changes using a peak flow meter, following an asthma action plan, and trouble breathing, posture changes, chest and neck retractions, and blue lips/fingernails that indicate a worsening condition requiring immediate medical help.
Asthma power point.......pppp
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes inflammation of the airways and makes breathing difficult. It is caused by inherited genes, respiratory infections, and exposure to allergens or viruses. Over 22 million people in the US have asthma, including 6 million children, who are most at risk if they experience frequent wheezing when sick. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma is diagnosed through medical tests and is treated to prevent symptoms and control the disease with medicines.
Asthma Diagnosis
Your doctor will take your medical history, family history of asthma, do a physical exam listening to your breathing and looking for signs of asthma or allergies. They will also do lung function tests to check how your lungs are working and breathing tests. They may also do allergy skin tests to check for nasal allergies and give you medication to see if test results improve to help diagnose asthma.
Chronic cough and lung cancer
This document discusses chronic cough as a potential symptom of lung cancer. It notes that a cough persisting for more than two weeks without another cause could indicate lung cancer and should not be ignored. Changes in a chronic cough such as increased mucus, hoarseness, or coughing up blood are especially concerning and mean a person should see a doctor to check for potential lung cancer or other issues. Smoking cessation is recommended to reduce the risk of developing a chronic cough or lung cancer.
Env and asthma
This document provides information about asthma, including its definition, causes, diagnosis, and treatment. It defines asthma as a chronic lung disease that causes narrowing of the airways. Environmental factors that can trigger asthma are discussed such as pollution, tobacco smoke, allergens, and certain lifestyle factors. Diagnosis involves a medical history, physical exam, and lung function tests. Treatment varies depending on asthma severity and can include medications, immunotherapy, and following an asthma action plan.
Epinephrine Autoinjector
The EpiPen contains a single dose of epinephrine that is automatically injected into the thigh muscle when the pen is pressed against the skin. Epinephrine acts immediately to stop anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction that can involve swelling of the mouth, throat, or airways and cause difficulty breathing or a drop in blood pressure. If symptoms of anaphylaxis occur, the EpiPen should be used immediately by injecting it into the thigh muscle according to instructions and calling 911, as additional doses may be needed to counteract the reaction.
Allergy Information
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances that are normally harmless. These triggering substances are known as allergens. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, certain foods, insect bites and stings, latex, and some medications. Symptoms of allergies can be mild, such as sneezing and itchy eyes, or they can be severe like difficulty breathing or a drop in blood pressure. It is important to identify your allergens and take steps to avoid exposure to prevent allergic reactions.
Pet Allergies
Pet allergies can be caused by proteins in fur, dander, saliva, and aerosolized urine. Symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, eczema and hives. To prevent reactions, those with pet allergies should keep pets outside or out of bedrooms, bathe pets weekly, wash hands after contact, and avoid soiled litter cages.
Food Allergies
Food allergy is an abnormal immune response to certain foods, which can range from mild symptoms to the severe, life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Common food allergies in infants and children include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, while shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and fish are frequent causes of food allergies in adults. Diagnosis involves taking a medical history, diet diary, elimination diet, and tests like skin prick tests and blood tests. There is no cure for food allergies, so prevention through strict avoidance of problem foods, reading food labels, and cleaning shared eating areas is key to managing symptoms.
Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is a long-term skin disease characterized by dry, itchy skin and rashes. It is caused by a tendency to develop allergies. Symptoms include rashes on the face, hands and feet that can crack and weep fluid from scratching. Doctors diagnose it based on symptoms and family history of allergies. Treatment focuses on moisturizing skin and using corticosteroids and other medications to prevent flare ups from irritants and allergens that worsen symptoms.
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that affects multiple organ systems rapidly and can potentially cause death. It is caused by allergic reactions to foods, drugs, insect stings, latex, or other allergens. Symptoms can include any combination of skin issues like hives or swelling, respiratory symptoms like wheezing, gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, and cardiovascular symptoms like dizziness. Treatment involves using an epinephrine auto-injector like an EpiPen and calling emergency services, as the reaction can worsen quickly.
Drug Allergy
Drug allergies occur when the body has an unintended negative reaction to a medication. Symptoms can range from mild skin rashes and hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Common medications that may cause allergic reactions include antibiotics like penicillin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticonvulsants, and some chemotherapy drugs. A doctor will carefully diagnose potential drug allergies through a patient history and potentially skin or blood tests before prescribing alternatives or attempting graded challenges to build tolerance. There is no cure for drug allergies, so prevention focuses on identifying triggers and finding substitute treatments.
Insect Sting Allergy
Insect stings from bees, wasps, hornets, fire ants, and yellow jackets can cause severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis in some people. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition where breathing becomes restricted and blood pressure drops sharply. Symptoms include swelling of the mouth, throat, chest tightness, wheezing, dizziness and loss of consciousness. Those with insect sting allergies are advised to carry epinephrine and seek immediate medical help if stung to prevent potentially fatal anaphylactic shock.
Asthma Action Plan
The document discusses an asthma action plan, which aims to control asthma through preventing symptoms, reducing medicine needs, maintaining normal activity, sleeping through the night, and preventing emergencies. It explains that quick-relief medicines treat active symptoms while long-term control medicines reduce inflammation and future issues. Triggers that can worsen asthma like smoke, allergens, irritants and colds are also addressed. The plan helps monitor asthma control and what steps to take if asthma becomes uncontrolled or a medical emergency occurs.
Indoor Allergies
The document discusses various indoor allergens and irritants such as cigarette smoke, dust mites, cockroaches, pets, indoor molds, and chemical irritants. It provides tips on reducing exposure to these allergens, including removing stuffed animals and clutter from beds, washing bedding frequently, vacuuming and using pest traps, keeping pets out of bedrooms, fixing water leaks to prevent mold growth, and avoiding chemical irritants in poorly ventilated areas. The goal is to help control allergic reactions and asthma attacks by avoiding or reducing sources of indoor allergens and irritants.
Asthma Triggers
The document discusses common asthma triggers such as tobacco smoke, dust mites, cockroaches, pets, mold, pollen, chemical irritants, and physical exercise. It provides tips for reducing exposure to each trigger, including using covers for mattresses and pillows, vacuuming regularly, keeping pets out of bedrooms, fixing leaks to prevent mold growth, talking to a doctor about seasonal allergies and exercise-induced asthma. The overall message is that controlling exposure to various indoor and outdoor triggers can help manage asthma symptoms.
Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever, are caused by an allergic reaction to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds or mold spores. Common symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. While avoidance of allergens is difficult, medications can help control symptoms, including over-the-counter antihistamines and prescription nasal steroids, decongestants, or sprays. Allergy shots are also available to reduce sensitivity to allergens over time.
