Severity Assessment of Acute Flares
Slide 20-

Classifying Severity- of Acute Disease (Asthma Exacerbations)
Slide 21-

Managing Asthma: Acute Exacerbations Impending respiratory failure: oxygen; iv access; alb/atrovent; bolus solumedrol; admit to ICU; prepare for intubation Severe: oxygen; 3 albuterol nebs w/ atrovent or continuous albuterol; i.v. or oral methylpred 1-2 mg/kg admit to hospital Moderate: oxygen; albuterol nebulization q 20 min x 3; oral corticosteroids 1-2 mg/kg for 3-5 days; treat co-morbidities Mild: albuterol MDI (w/ spacer), or nebulizer treatment up to 3 times; consider oral corticosteroid The Acute Disease
Slide 22-

Medications
Slide 23-

Inhaled Medication: In general, inhaled therapy is favored over systemic (oral) therapy for asthma The medication is delivered on site and avoids most adverse side effects Pharmacological Therapy NAEPP. EPR-3, page 216.
Slide 24-

Inhaled Medication Delivery Devices
Slide 25-

Many MDIs used chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as propellants. CFCs were phased out globally in 2008 to protect the earth’s ozone layer Hydrofluroalkaline (HFA) inhalers are the non-CFC alternative DPIs (breath actuated Dry Powder Inhalers) are non-CFC compliant Metered Dosed Inhalers Transition to non-CFC containing inhalers:
Slide 26-

Daily Long-Term Control: Corticosteroids (inhaled and systemic) Long-acting beta2-agonists (salmeterol, formoterol) when in combination with ICS Leukotriene modifiers (montelukast) Leukotriene inhibitors (zileuton) Mast cell stabilizers (cromolyn or nedocromil) Methylxanthines (theophylline) Overview of Asthma Medications
Slide 27-

Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS): Most effective long-term-control therapy for persistent asthma Risk for adverse events is minimal at recommended low/medium inhaled doses Risk depends on dose and delivery method Long-Term Control
Slide 28-

Benefit of daily use: Reduced airway inflammation Improved lung function Reduced use of quick-relief medicine Fewer symptoms and exacerbations In usual doses ICS do not provide short-term relief Must be used daily for full benefit Inhaled Corticosteroids

ICS Metabolism
Slide 36-

Reduce potential for adverse events by: Rinsing mouth Using lowest dose possible that results in control Use in combination with long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) or a leukotriene modifier if moderate/severe disease Inhaled Corticosteroids
Slide 37-

Comparative Dosages: HFA ≠ DPI ≠ MDI ≠ respules Preparations are not equivalent per puff or per microgram Comparative doses are estimated. Few data directly compare preparations Inhaled Corticosteroids

Estimated Comparative Daily Dosages of Inhaled Corticosteroids for Adults
Slide 41-

Long-Acting Beta2-Agonists (LABA) salmeterol (serevent), formoterol (foradil) May be beneficial when added to inhaled corticosteroids as an adjunct Do not have anti-inflammatory properties alone Asthma may worsen if used as mono-therapy LABA’s are not recommended for use as mono-therapy for long term control of persistent asthma Not appropriate for quick relief
Slide 42-

28 week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled; 164 patients; 12 - 65 yrs. old Persistent asthmatics controlled on Triamcinolone 400 mcg bid Use of Salmeterol Alone to Treat Asthma JAMA 2001;285:2583-93. Treatment Failure Rate Treatment arms: Placebo Change to Salmeterol Continue ICS
Slide 43-

Is there a problem with inhaled long-acting B-adrenergic agonists (LABA)? Harold Nelson, MD LABA’s by themselves have no significant anti-inflammatory effects and should be used with ICS When used with ICS most studies have not identified an increased risk of death or near death from asthma Re-analysis of the pattern of asthma deaths suggest that in patients with limited access to care, symptomatic relief provided by LABA’s may result in delays in seeking medical care in the face of increasing airway inflammation J Allergy Clin Immunol Jan. 2006
Slide 44-

Leukotriene Modifiers Mechanisms 5-LO inhibitors –zileuton (Zyflo) Cysteinyl LeukoTriene Receptor Antagonists montelukast (Singulair), zafirlukast (Accolate) Indications Monotherapy in mild persistent asthma Add-on therapy in moderate to severe persistent asthma Long-Term Control

Slide 56-

Short-Acting Beta2-Agonists: Regularly scheduled use is not generally recommended May lower effectiveness and increase side effects May increase airway hyper-responsiveness Using >2 canisters per month-risk factor for death NAEPP. EPR-3, page 377.
Slide 57-

Older adults: Older adults esp. those with ischemic heart disease may show Increased sensitivity to B-agonists (tremor, tachycardia) Systemic corticosteroids can provoke: confusion agitation changes in glucose metabolism Inhaled corticosteroids May be associated with dose-dependent reduction in bone mineral content Physician may consider concurrent treatment with Calcium supplements and Vitamin D Bone-sparing medications (e.g. bisphosphonates) Special Considerations
Slide 58-

Patients with other medical issues: Medications for other diseases may exacerbate asthma NSAIDs (ASA induced asthma) Nonselective beta-blockers Beta-blockers found in some eye drops ACE inhibitors Special Considerations
Slide 59-

Transient narrowing of the airways associated with: Physical exertion Coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath occurring within 10-15 minutes of starting exercise: Exercise duration = 2-8 min. (85-95% max HR) Maximal at 8-15 minutes post exercise Diagnosis = 12-15% drop in FEV1 (7% in elite athlete) Special Considerations Exercise Induced Asthma (EIA) Exercise Induced Bronchospasm (EIB)
Slide 60-

Occurrence: 90% of asthmatics 40% of patients with allergic rhinitis 22% of 1998 Olympic athletes 9% of persons with EIB have no hx of asthma or allergies 10-50% of asthmatics on ICS still display EIB Exercise Induced Asthma
Slide 61-

Management Strategies: Short-acting inhaled beta2-agonists used shortly before exercise last 2 to 3 hours Salmeterol may prevent EIB for 10 to 12 hours Cromolyn if side effects a concern A lengthy warm-up period before exercise An aerobic conditioning program Long-term-control therapy, if appropriate Avoid asthma triggers during exercise Managing Exercise-Induced Asthma
Slide 62-

Over-The-Counter (OTC) Asthma Medicines: Always include OTC’s in medical history OTC products may provoke asthma (ASA) Short acting bronchodilators (e.g. Primatene mist): not a substitute for prescription medicines Often indicate need for physician referral Very short acting and non-selective Special Considerations
Slide 63-

Subcutaneous Allergy Immunotherapy
Slide 64-

Subcutaneous Allergen Immunotherapy is considered for: NAEPP. EPR-3, page 177.
Slide 65-

Newer Therapy Anti-IgE Therapy – Omalizumab (Xolair) Humanized IgG (5% murine) Binds IgE regardless of specificity Does not activate complement Rarely has caused anaphylaxis
Slide 66-

Indicated for adults and adolescents(>12) with severe persistent asthma inadequately controlled on high-dose ICS and LABA Selected patients must have a positive skin test or in vitro reactivity to aeroallergens Dosed every 2-4 weeks; SQ dosing May allow these patients to improve control, decrease dose of ICS and decrease reliance on oral corticosteroids Xolair (Omalizumab)
Slide 67-

Use of Alternative medicines may result in: allergic reactions intensification of drug side effects Users may not be aware of: potency contaminants covert additives Recommended that clinician ask patient about complementary and alternative medicine use (CAM) Alternative Therapies NAEPP. EPR-3, pages 240 - 244. 40% of pts who use non-provider prescribed therapies do not report alternative medication use because they are not asked or because they do not think it is important for their medical provider to know (Eisenberg 2001).
Slide 68-

According to the 2007 NAEPP EPR-3: NAEPP. EPR-3, pages 240 - 242.
