Define mild asthma:
speak sentences, wheezing only on exhalation, POx >95%, PEFR >70%
Define moderate asthma:
speak phrases, wheezing on exhalation and inhalation, POx 90-95%, PEFR 40-69%
Define severe asthma:
speak only words, wheezing on exhalation/inhalation or quiet, POx <90%, PEFR <40%
Indication for starting controller
2+ exacerbations in 6mo requiring oral CS
>4 episodes of wheezing/year that last at least 1 day, interfered with sleep, has positive asthma predictive index
What are signs of atopic disease (positive asthma predictive index?
1 major - parenteral asthma, atopic dermatitis
2 minor - allergen sensitization, eosinophilia >4%, wheeze without URI
Describe criteria for intermittent asthma
symptoms or use of SABA <2days/wk, nightime awakenings <2x/month in 5-11yr, no interference with activity, baseline FEV1 >80%, steroids 1x/year for exacerbation
Rx for intermittent asthma
SABA
Rx for mild persistent
Add low dose ICS or LTRA for 0-4
Rx for moderate persistent
0-4y medium dose ICS
Older pt low-dose ICS and LABA or stay on low dose ICS+LTRA
Escalation of therapy for moderate persistent
Medium dose ICS + LABA or LTRA
Rx for severe persistent
High dose ICS + LABA/LTRA
Escalation for severe persistent
HD ICS + LABA/LTRA and oral CS
What are indications for oral steroid use?
Does not respond to initial albuterol, mod to severe exacerbation, hx of recent oral steroid use, optimal albuterol therapy at home, hx of life-threatening episode, anti-inflammatory 2-4hr, improve SABA in 1-2hr
When do you have to taper steroid use?
if >10 days of usage
What are indications of well-controlled asthma?
symptoms/SABA usage <2/week oral CS use <1/year night waking <1/mo FEV1 or PEFR normal activity normal
Indication for long-acting B2-agonists
Poor control on low to moderate doses of ICS, control of nocturnal symptoms, exercise-induced asthma
Can you develop antibody to LABA
yes
What are SE of Mg sulfate
flushing, malaise, hypotension and bradycardia
What is atrovent, SE, and function
ipratropim, smooth muscle relaxant, can cause pupillary dilation
First choice Rx for allergic rhinitis in young kids
oral antihistamine
First choice Rx for allergic rhinitis in older kids
intranasal CS
Define anaphylaxis precisely
acute skin + respiratory/decreased BP
2 or more (skin/mucous membranes, respiratory, cardiac GI)
Decreased BP exposed to known allergen
Pattern: IUGR, sepsis, sensorineural, periventricular calcification, pneumonitis, hepato-splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, dental defects
CMV
Pattern: rash, IUGR, senosrineural hearing loss, cataracts/microphthalmia, PDA, pulm stenosis, myocarditis, T cell dysfunction
Rubella
