RS Disorder
Cough
Asthma
COPD
Cough activated by
Mechanical stimuli - Foreign body, dust, talking
Chemical stimuli - Smoke, perfume

Cough Categories
Acute 3 week
Subacute 3-8 week
Chronic 8 week
COPD symptom
Same as asthma
COPD caused by
chronic bronchitis
Emphesema
Smoking
COPD Feature
Irreversible - Present of fibrosis
Progressive
Abnormal inflammatory response
Asthma Characteristic
Recurrent attack of airway obstructive
Chronic inflammatory
Airway hyper-reactivity
Asthma Phase
Early Phase: Bronchospasm
Late Phase: Inflammation
Asthma Clinical Indication
Recurrent attack Coughing Short of breath(SOB) & Dyspnea Chess tighness Wheezing
Asthma Type
Extrinsic-Allergic
Intrinsic- Infection, Stress
Cold Air Exercise
Drug-induced(latrogenic) Aspirin
Asthma Pathological feature
Contraction of airway sm
Mucosal thickening
Plug of mucus
Asthma Treatment
Sympathomimetic agents Methylxantine drug Antimuscuranic agent Corticosteroids Cromolyn & Nedocromil Leukotriene pathway inhibitor Other
Asthma Therphy
Dilate bronchi
Reduce inflamation & mucus
Other Asthma Therphy using
Anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies
Calcium Channel blocker
Nitric Oxide Donor
First Line Bronchodilator
B2-sympathomimetic (Adrenoceptor
stimulant) agent
Methylxantine Group
Anticholinergic(Muscarinic) Agent
Why not B1
may induce hypertension,
tachycardia, mi
B2-sympathomimetic class
Short acting agent(PIO)
Long acting agent(Inhalation)
Albuterol(Salbutamol), Terbutaline
B2-sympathomimetic
T1/2: 2-3 hour
Short acting agent(PIO)
Relieve bronchi
Salmeterol, Formoterol
B2-sympathomimetic
Long acting agent(Inhalation)
T1/2: 12 hour
Maintain dilation
B2-sympathomimetic ADR
Tachycardia- In large dose,B1 receptor
Skeletal Muscle tremor-B2 receptor, Large dose
Theophylline
Methylxantine Group, Tea On sm: bronchodilation On ske.m: contraction of diaphragm Narrow therapeutic index- Careful patient already on oral theophylline
Precaution when using Theophylline
Never give rapidly Avoid heart complication
Never given IV On tp treatment, measure tp blood level
Caffeine & Theobromine
Methylxantine Group
Coffee & Cocoa
General effect of Methylxantine Group
On sm: bronchodilation
On ske.m: improve contractility
GIT: secretion of gastric acid &
digestive enzyme
