Asthma Self-management: It's Not One Size Fits All.

Abstract:

:Asthma exacerbations are a significant cause of health care use and mortality. Home management strategies may be effective in managing many exacerbations before presentation to a health care institution. This article focuses on the variety of options available to patients and providers to choose from as they customize an asthma self-management plan. Literature regarding short-acting bronchodilators is reviewed along with studies on more controversial therapies, such as use of home oral steroids, inhaled corticosteroid and beta agonist combination therapy, and macrolides in acute asthma exacerbations.
