DEFINITIONAsthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of
the airways in which many cells play a role in particular mast cells, eosinophils, and T lymphocytes.
In susceptible individuals this inflammation causes reccurent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night and/or in the early morning.
These symptoms are usually associated with widespread but variable airflow limitation that is at least partly reversible either spontanously or with treatment.
The inflammation also causes an associated increase in airway hyperresponsiveness to a variety of stimuli.

Side effects of steroid inhalers :
Side effects are uncommon, mild and temporary.
Possible side effects are:
hoarse voice ,throat irritation,
fungay infection.
You can avoid by rinsing your throat well after inhaling the medicine.
Side effects of steroid inhalers :
The dose of inhaled steroid per day is a lot smaller and the side effects are less frequent and less severe than steroid tablets.
For example, 2 puffs of Pulmicort inhaler (200 micrograms) a day delivers 400 micrograms of inhaled steroid. In acute asthma attack, six 5 milligrams of steroid tablets a day will be given-30,000 micrograms , 75 times more than inhaled steroid.

GOLD
Definition of COPDChronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) is a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fullyreversible. The airflow limitation is usuallyboth progressive and associated with anabnormal inflammatory response of thelungs to noxious particles or gases.
Management of COPD: All stages
Avoidance of noxious agents
- smoking cessation
- reduction of indoor pollution- reduction of occupational exposure
Influenza vaccination
Management of COPD Stage 0: At Risk
Characteristics Recommended Treatment
• Chronic symptoms- cough- sputum
• No spirometric abnormalities
2013-10-15

Management of COPD Stage I: Mild COPD
Characteristics Recommended Treatment
• FEV1/FVC < 70 %• FEV1 > 80 % predicted• With or without symptoms
• Short-acting bronchodilator as needed
Management of COPD Stage IIA: Moderate COPD
Characteristics Recommended Treatment
•FEV1/FVC < 70%•50% < FEV1< 80% predicted•With or without symptoms
•Regular treatment with one or more bronchodilators
•Rehabilitation•Inhaled glucocortico-steroids if significant symptoms and lung function response
Management of COPD Stage IIB: Moderate COPD
Characteristics Recommended Treatment
•FEV1/FVC < 70%•30% < FEV1 < 50% predicted•With or without symptoms
•Regular treatment with one or more bronchodilators•Rehabilitation•Inhaled glucocortico-steroids if significant symptoms and lung function response or if repeated exacerbations
Management of COPD Stage III: Severe COPD
Characteristics Recommended Treatment•FEV1/FVC < 70%
•FEV1 < 30% predicted or presence of respiratory failure or right heart failure
•Regular treatment with one or more bronchodilators•Inhaled glucocorticosteroids if significant symptoms and lung function response or if repeated exacerbations•Treatment of complications•Rehabilitation•Long-term oxygen therapy if respiratory failure•Consider surgical options
Manage Exacerbations
Exacerbations of respiratory symptoms requiring medical intervention are important clinical events in COPD.
The most common causes of an exacerbation are infection of the tracheobronchial tree and air pollution, but the cause of about one-third of severe exacerbations cannot be identified .
Manage Exacerbations
Inhaled bronchodilators (Beta2-agonists and/or anticholinergics), theophylline, and systemic, preferably oral, glucocortico-steroids are effective for the treatment of COPD exacerbations

Manage Exacerbations
Patients experiencing COPD exacerbations with clinical signs of airway infection (e.g., increased volume and change of color of sputum, and/or fever) may benefit from antibiotic treatment
Oxygen
Oxygen is a powerful symbol of medical care that is probably more important than its actual therapeutic value in the relief of breathlessness. It is widely available and commonly prescribed by medical and paramedical staff but is often given without careful evaluation of its potential benefits and side effects. Like any drug therapy there must be clear indications for treatment with oxygen, appropriate prescription, vigilant monitoring and appropriate methods of delivery.
Definitions - Hypoxaemia
The following laboratory values, obtained while breathing ambient air: Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) £55 mm HgArterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) £88%In the presence of secondary polycythaemia and pulmonary hypertension:PaO2 between 55-60mm Hg
Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT)
Provision of oxygen therapy for continuous use at home for patients with chronic hypoxaemia. The flow rate must be sufficient to raise the waking oxygen tension in adults to above 60mm Hg.
It is nighttime
In the literature Long Term Oxygen Therapy
Is often used as a synonymous of:
Continuous Oxygen Therapy (COT)
Home Oxygen Therapy (HOT)
Home oxygen therapy
Home oxygen therapy is an effective but potentially expensive and inconvenient intervention. It should be prescribed only for patients in whom there is evidence of benefit, such as those whose disability relates to a chronic reduced arterial oxygen concentration (chronic hypoxaemia).

Chronic hypoxaemia in:Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseDiffuse interstitial lung diseaseCystic fibrosisBronchiectasisWidespread pulmonary neoplasmPediatric bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)Pulmonary hypertensionRecurring congestive heart failure due to chronic cor pulmonale
Nocturnal hypoventilation (With continuous positive airway pressure, CPAP)ObesityNeuromuscular / spinal / chest wall diseaseObstructive sleep apnoea

1. Oxygen concentrators
Electrically poweredUses molecular sieve beds to filter and concentrate oxygen molecules from ambient air, generating oxygen concentrations of 90% to 98%Maximum flow of 3-5 L/minBackup oxygen supply with a cylinder is necessary
2. Compressed gas cylinders
H-sizedLarge and heavy (about 150lbs)Provides oxygen for about 57 hours at flow of 2 L/min
3. Liquid oxygen reservoirs
Can be used to refill portable unitsLast 5-7 days at 2 L/minRelatively high cost / occasional “freezing” of the valve at flow of about 8 L/min / evaporation of the liquid oxygen when not in use.
The ANTIHISTAMINES

The ANTIHISTAMINES
are used to block the release or action of histamine- a chemical madiator of inflammation that increases secretions and constricts the air passegeway
Also called H1 blockers or H1 antagonits, these are agents designed to relieve respiratory symptomps and to treat allergic conditions.
Anti-Histamine
The Mechanism of Action
-These agents SELECTIVELY block the effects of histamine at the HISTAMINE-1 receptor sites in the target tissue by competing with histamine for receptor, decreasing the cellular responses - They also have anticholinergic and antipruritic properties.
The ANTIHISTAMINES
The anti-histamines are group according to the „generation”.- The FIRST GENERATION agents have greater anticholinergic effects and can cause more sedation and drowsiness!These agents cause drowsiness.- The SECOND GENERATION agents have fewer anticholinergic effects that is why they cause less sedation.

Anti-Histamine
Clinical Indications for Use in respiratory system
2. Rhinitis
3. Allergic sinusitis4. Uncomplicated urticaria and angioedema.
Anti-Histamine - Contraindications and Precautions for the use of the antihistamines
- Pregnancy and lactation are contraindications, and they agents are used cautiously in patient with impaired liver and kidney functions.
- Fatal arrythmias have been reported if some of these agents are given to patients with a condition called prolonged QT intervals.
Anti-Histamine
Pharmacodynamics: Drug effects on the body
1. CNS- drowsiness and sedation, most pronouced if first generation agents are used
2. Fatigue, dizzines and disturbed coordination.
3. Anticholinergic effects= drying of the respiratory mucus membrane, Gl upset and nausea, arrhytmias, dysuria, urinary retention
4. Skin dryness
Anti-Histamine
Implementation- The drug should be administer on an EMPTY stomach, or 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals to increase the absorption.- Give with food if GI upset occurs- Offer sugarless lozenges or hard candy to counteract dryness of the mouth. Give frequent oral care- Provide safety measures if drowsiness may occur. Side rails up, assist in ambulation, and advise not to drive or operate dangerous machineries or delicate tasks.
