Asthma
Cardinal features



airway obstruction
inflammation
Hyperresponsiveness
Airway remodeling

Subepithelial fibrosis, increased smooth
muscle mass, angiogenesis, hyperplasia of
mucous glands and goblet cells
Classification of Asthma Severity
Symptoms
Nighttime
Symptoms
Step 5 or 6 Severe
Persistent
Continual symptoms
Limited physical activity
Frequent exacerbations
Frequent
Step 3 or 4 Moderate
Persistent
Daily symptoms
Daily use of inhaled SABA
Exacerbations affect activity
Exacerbations >2x/week
> 1x/week
Step 2 Mild Persistent
Symptoms>2x/week but not daily
Exacerbations may affect activity
>2 times a month
Step 1 Intermittent
Symptoms <2x/week
Asymptomatic & normal FEV1 between
exacerbations
Exacerbations brief; intensity may vary
< 2x/month
Asthma Pearls
Symptoms more than 2 days/week or more than 2
nights/month have persistent asthma
Inhaled corticosteroids with PRN bronchodilator is
the cornerstone of therapy for persistent asthma
If not persistent, can be treated with PRN
bronchodilator only
Occupational Asthma
Symptoms at work and improvement during
times away from work
Nearly 50% have symptoms 3-4 years after
cessation of exposure
RADS (reactive airways dysfunction
syndrome)


high level of respiratory irritant exposure
symptoms (cough, chest tightness, wheezing,
dyspnea) after exposure and may persist for
years
Allergic Bronchopulmonary
Aspergillosis (ABPA)
Manifests as severe persistent asthma
Clinical Manifestations







central bronchiectasis
pulmonary infiltrates (upper lobe
predominance)
brown sputum/mucous plugs
elevated IgE levels (>1000 ng/mL)
positive skin test to Aspergillus
peripheral eosinophilia
Steroids treatment
Exercise-induced Asthma
Symptoms begin 10-15 minutes after
exercise
Prevent with inhaled β-agonist 15 minutes
before exercise (effective in more than
80% of patients)
Alternatives not as effective as β-agonists
Regular exercise may lessen the degree
of exercise-induced asthma

COPD
Cigarette smoking is most important risk
factor & cessation is single most effective
intervention to stop decline in lung function
Accelerated decline in lung function in
smokers

hemodynamics, exercise capacity, lung
mechanics, and mental status
COPD Exacerbation
Change in dyspnea, change in cough, change in sputum
volume/character
Requires only ONE of above
Usually caused by virus, inhalant/irritant
Treatment

2. Glucocorticoids – 2 weeks
3. Antibiotics – none defined as better than others…except those at
risk for Pseudomonas – FEV1<50%, ABX 4x in last year, recent
hospitalization

Only need for pre-lung

Best wishes on the board!!!! Get a good
night of sleep before the test. Read
