This document defines asthma as an airflow obstruction caused by bronchoconstriction from an allergic reaction. It discusses the two main types of asthma - extrinsic caused by allergies, and intrinsic of unknown cause. Risk factors include gender, family history, environmental allergens and stress. The pathophysiology involves inflammation and narrowing of the airways due to mast cell activation and mucus production, causing symptoms like wheezing and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis involves assessing history, symptoms, lung function tests, and imaging. Treatment consists of long-term and quick relief medications, and avoiding triggers. Nursing care focuses on monitoring breathing, vital signs, oxygen levels, and symptoms to assess asthma severity and response to treatment.

Presenter Delma Joie D. Magtubo introduces the topic of asthma.
Asthma is defined as an airflow obstruction due to bronchoconstriction from allergic reactions. Includes types: Extrinsic and Intrinsic.
Categories of asthma: Extrinsic is allergy-related, while Intrinsic has no known cause.
Discusses risk factors affecting asthma, including genetic and environmental triggers.
Overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying asthma.
Non-modifiable factors in asthma include gender and family history.
Modifiable factors include environmental allergens, stress, and GERD affecting asthma.
Key symptoms include cough, wheezing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and oxygenation issues.
Focuses on the various clinical manifestations seen in asthma patients.
Details on diagnostic methods: history, physical exams, pulmonary function tests, imaging, etc.
Introduction to valved holding chambers (spacers) that enhance drug delivery in asthma treatment.
Asthma is controllable through medications, trigger avoidance, and possibly bronchial thermoplasty.
Nursing assessment includes monitoring breath sounds, peak flow, vital signs, and oxygen saturation.
Discusses nursing interventions and management strategies for patients with asthma.
Updates on current trends related to asthma care and management.
Reference to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and issues related to asthma awareness.
