This week we are working in the Respiratory system. Your assignment this week includes a PPT for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment.
This week we are covering COPD, Asthma and Respiratory system in general.
Management of Asthma & COPD/Emphysema/Chronic Bronchitis should address drugs such as LAMAs, SABAs, SAMAs, LABAs & ICS drugs
Pharmacodynamics (means molecular mechanism of action, therapeutic actions, adverse actions etc. of the drugs mentioned) and
Pharmacokinetics (absorption, metabolism, distribution and elimination) of ALL RELEVANT DRUGS in discussion.
Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different PHARMACOLOGICAL approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:
Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient. Discuss very briefly the pharmacology of the drugs involved.
Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.
