Acute Asthma Exacerbation
- Pathophysiology
- Allergen
- IgE production
- Mast cells degranulation
- Release of histamine, bradykinies,
leukotrienes, prostaglandin, platelet
activating factor
- Vasodilation of capillaries
- Mucosal edema
- Mucosal edema
- Bronchoconstriction
- Mucous secretion
- Mucosal inflammation
- Airway obstruction
- Activation of lung receptors
triggering hyperventilation
- PaCO2 decrease,
pH increases
- Respiratory alkalosis
- Respiratory alkalosis
- No change in PaCO2
- Air trapping increases the pressure
and decreases the perfusion in alveoli
- Ventilation decreases
- PaCO2 increases,

- Respiratory acidosis

- Clinical Presentation
- Chest tightness
- Coughing
- Dyspnea
- Wheezing
- Respiratory distress
- Chest tightness
- Diagnosis
- Blood work
- Arterial blood gases
- Pulmonary function test
- EKG
- Blood work
- Epidemiology
- 11 million people have asthma with
exacerbation each year in the US
- 180,000 deaths annually are
attributed to asthma worldwide
- Most asthma deaths occur
in ages over 45 years old
