Question | Answer |
Asthma | chronic abnormal autonomic respons of the bronchial muscles that produce:intermittent acut bronchospasms, partial airway obstuction, chronic bronchial inflammation, edema-airway obstruction from the effects; inflammation, bronchospasm, |
Asthma | involves narrowing of small air passages of lower resp system, affects b/w 5-10% cuased by various genetic and immune system factors, asthma can lead to a chornic reduction of air flow caused by:epithelial cell damage, fibrous changes in the bronchiols |
Signs and Symptoms of Asthma | can last min hrs or days Dyspnea, chest tightness, fatigue, anxiety, coughing, wheezing, prolonged expiration, panting speech, cyanosis, practice may need to be altered peakflow of >80% good to go |
asthma triggers, eval and diagnostic testing | Triggers:allergens, smoke, infection, cold or dry air, emotional state, ex-Eval:increassed Hr, resp rate, use of accessory muscles, ascultation(wheezing-experiation, rhonchi-inspiration, decreased breath sounds), diagnostic testing:peakflow meter |
asthma treatment | Goal:limit bronchial inflammation, control symps, prevent exacerbation, maintain normal pulmonary function avoid triggers, ath instructed to sit, take deep breaths exhale through pursed lips keep them calm, |
Administastration of bronchodilator | prescribed-metered dosed inhalers(mdi), 2 doeses administerd 5 min apart, good technique and timing is important recovery should occur gradually |
Asthma management | antiinflammatory meds and bronchiodilator meds |
Anti-inflammatory | corticosteriords, masst cell stabilizers, antileukotriends, controle underlying chornic inflammation, provide long term control, taken on a daily basis, noncomplicance leads to:more frequent attacks, more scarring within lungs |
Bronchodilators | B2 agonists-provide quick relief, taken on an as needed basis, b2 goes to lunchs |
Medication Pathway | 2 neurotransmitter recept involved in ANS resp control-adrenergic agonist, anticholinergic drugs, 2 classes of asthma drugs adrenegic agonist, anticholinergic drugs |
Adrenergic Agonist | activate the receptor to promote muscle relaxation of smooth muscle-bronchodilation-beta-adrenergic receptors)aka beta 2 receptors |
anticholinergic | Drugsbind with receptors w/ intent of blocking receptor activation that causes smooth muscle constriction-cronchoconstriction-anticholinergic drugs |
NSAID asthma medication | arachidonic acid-lipogenase pathway-inflammation w/ asthma, leukotrienes:cause smooth muscle contraction in bronchial tissue, antileukotriene meds-singular, accolate |
NATA reccomendations for managing asthma in ath | during PPE ath screened for asthma, AT aware of S/S suggesting ast:tight chest, cough, SOB, wheeze, limit physical activity due2 difficulty breathing, pulmonary testing indicated 4 ath w/ history of asth/athwho diagnosis of ast cant b excluded by med hist |
NATA reccomendations cont | AT familar w/pharmacological interv 4 tx,plan incorporated into overal EAP sports med service, ath w/asth have rescue inhaler @alltimes,AT have access to nebulizer 4 emergencies, alt px sites considered when possible 2 avoid allergens that trigger attack |
NATA reccomendatiosn 3 | pt w/asthma regular f/u visits w/ dr 2 monitor and mod tx regimen-proper w/u provide refractory period lasting up 2 2 hrs, ath educatedon asthma: s/s, triggers, spirometry, pharm and non parm supporitve tx, MDI& nebs, need not prevent participation |
NATA recommendations 4 | AT aware of other med cond that may mimic s/s of asthma ievocal cord dysfunc & UR diseases, pt w/ astha should be encouraged to exercise, At able to differentiate b/w restricted, banned and permitted asthma meds relative to participation in org comp sport |
MDI | prepare(shake, warm up), hold inhaler upright, tip head slightly, exhale slowly, place inhaler in mouth, seallips, prss down n inhaler-release meds @same time take slow deep breath, hold breath 10sec b4 exhaling, 2 puff wait 1-5min |
Peak flow meter | measure lung volume w/ventilation-analog scale indicates volume of PEF, indic of airway function, monitors effectiveness of meds, manage asth-baseline recorded over several days, take PEF immediately be4 and after ex,<80%asthma attack, <50 med emergency |
Peak Expiratory Flow | Pef- highest volume of air they can exhale |
Peak flow meter instruction | stand upright, slide indicator to base, exhale completely, take a deep breath, place mouth piece in mouth, seal lips, blow as hard &fast as you can 1x, repeat w/rest of 1min, predict readings, clean w/ warm water and soap |
Exercise induced Bronchospasm | most common affecting-15%of pop, 90% ppl w/ asthma, 40%ppl w. allergies, occurs-5-15 min after onset of exercise, gets progressively worse at ex continues, resolves-30-60min after stoping ex-does not produce chronic inflammation in bronchioles like asthma |
Exercise induced bronchospasm defiend and triggered by | defined by:post exercise FEV more than 15% below pre-exercise value, Triggered by:cool,dryair, allergies, breathing through mouth, infection, pollution |
Exercise induced bronchospasm, s/s, diagnosis | s/s:SOB, chest tightness, dry cough after exercise, diagnosis:easure PEF before and after exercise, post vlue is 15%less=EIA |
Exercise induced bronchospasm tx | MDI before activity or @onset of symp, removed from activity, sit them down, calm reassure ath, monitor, refracory period |
Refractory period | management-warm up 50-90% MHR, bring system close to threshold, stop activity, take MDI, rest 15-70 min, resume competition, last up to 3 hrs(inconsitent results) |
exercise induced anaphylaxis | abnormal immune repsonse2 vigorus ex, hx breath probs w/ chronic NSAId use, reaction causes:weidespread realase of histamin, acute bronchospasm, s/s:fluch sensation to head and neck, rapidly followd by cough, stridor, shock, multple skin lesions-hives |
bronchitis chronic-COPD | obstuction caused by mechanical insufficency, chonic inflammation decreases the functional diameter of the bonchi and impairs airflow, increased co2 decreased o2 , ultimately decreases gas exchange |
