Three people a day die from asthma The DP with Asthma Should you worry? Three people a day die from asthma

What is asthma? Asthma is a condition that affects the small airways in the lungs When the person with asthma comes into contact with a trigger, the muscles in the small airways tighten, the lining of the airways thicken and sometimes sticky mucus builds up. This reduces airflow and causes difficulty in breathing.

What’s the inside story?

What can be a trigger? Anything that irritates the airways: Colds and flu Tobacco smoke Exercise Pollen Feathers House dust mites

What are the symptoms? Coughing Wheezing Tripod posture Shortness of breath Tight chest

Can we prevent attacks? No, but we can make them less likely Get them assessed Let them have their blue inhaler

What do we do for an attack? Let them have their blue inhaler - now Let them take 2 puffs If no better after 2 minutes - 2 more puffs 2 puffs every 2 minutes up to 10 puffs If no better after 10 puffs, call 999

Any questions?
