Eight-year-old B.J. has had asthma for 2 years since he had acute bronchitis. He was tested for allergies and demonstrated marked responses to a number of animals, pollens, and molds. B.J. also has a history of asthma related to exposure to very cold weather. 1. Describe the pathophysiology of an acute asthma attack in B.J. following exposure to cats. 2. Describe the early signs of an acute asthma attack and relate each of these to the changes taking place in the lungs. 3. If you were updating a medical and drug history for B.J., list several significant questions that should be asked. 4. Describe what precautions you would take if you were treating or dealing with B.J. and include your reasons. Describe your actions if B.J. had an attack while he was with you. 5. State and explain the effects of a prolonged asthma attack. 6. Explain the factors contributing to severe hypoxia and acidosis in a prolonged attack. 7. Define status asthmaticus. 8. Explain why B.J. is likely to have frequent respiratory infections. 9. Suggest several measures that B.J. can take to reduce anxiety and perhaps the risk of an asthma attack. 10. Explain how a beta2-adrenergic agent is helpful in treating asthma and how it is usually administered.

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs in which the patient's airways become temporarily constricted, making breathing difficult. Although the condition was virtually unknown in the early 1900s, today it affects 20.3 million people in the United States and kills 5,000 of them per year. From 1980 to 1994, the prevalence of asthma increased by 75%. Asthma rates in children under the age of 5 have increased by more than 160% in the same time period. The exact reason for the increased prevalence of asthma is not known, but the following observations offer clues: Asthma "attacks" can be triggered by the common cold, exercise, cold air, emotional stress, viral infections, aspirin, industrial air pollutants, smoking, obesity, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. Having two parents with asthma increases a child's chances of having the disease. Approximately 40% of children who have asthmatic parents also develop asthma. The disease tends to cluster in England and English-speaking countries. Exposure of children to dust mites, cats, cockroaches, molds, and mildews increases their chances of getting the disease. Children who are exposed to common parasites seem to have a better-developed immune system than children not exposed to parasites. These exposed children do not suffer from asthma as frequently. Exposure to occupational agents such as dyes may trigger the onset of adult asthma. Poverty seems to be a substantial risk factor for the development of asthma. Questions: 1. How have the factors that trigger an asthma attack changed since the 1900s? As a researcher, how would you put together the clues given here to explain the emerging epidemic? 2. Why do you think Europeans—and especially the English—are most affected by asthma? 3. Research the relationship between asthma and allergies. 4. Describe how various agents trigger asthma or an asthma attack. 5. Find out where in the world asthma is least prevalent, and hypothesize why this is so.

0:00 List.

00:01 So let's look, get my pen back.

00:02 Let's look at the first list.

00:04 We have pollen, dullest, mold, trees, and animal dander.

00:08 Well, when i look at these, all of these can be inhaled except for trees.

00:14 So we're going to eliminate that one.

00:16 And number two, we have hay fever, asthma, diabetes, eczema, and bronchitis.

00:22 So the one that is out there is going to be diabetes because the others deal with allergies.

00:31 So let's look at number three.

00:33 Sneezing, watery eyes, itching, redness of the skin, and retarded growth...
