The Asthma Urgency Shifting the Rescue Paradigm: A Call-to-Action Miniseries

Episode 3: Maintenance and Reliever Therapy in Moderate to Severe Asthma

Host: Gerald B. Lee, MD, FACAAI

Experts: Leonard B. Bacharier, MD, FACAAI, Alan P. Baptist, MD, MPH, FACAAI

Asthma exacerbations continue to affect over 40% of asthma patients, which not only disrupts their quality of life but can lead to permanent loss of lung function. The goal of this podcast miniseries is to review why an anti-inflammatory reliever has become the standard of care in asthma management and to provide tips on how to implement this therapy into your practice! Topics include: MART therapy, ICS/formoterol, FDA guidelines, pediatric application.

Learning Objectives:

  • Expose the prevalence of asthma and exacerbations in the US
  • Examine the contribution of fluctuating inflammation to the development of asthma attacks and patient preference when symptomatic
  • Realize both the genomic & nongenomic mechanisms of action of inhaled asthma therapies
  • Analyze the latest expert opinion on treatment of asthma to mitigate morbidity

Episode 3: Severe pediatric asthma-beyond standard therapy, the role of current and future therapies including biologics

Description: Though severe pediatric asthma only represents from 2 to 5% of the children suffering with this condition, it represents a major share of the cost, resource utilization, and morbidity. It is important that allergists have a good gasp of this condition and how it differs from the adult population. Topics include appropriate workup, comorbidities, steroid burden.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Be able to discuss the burden of severe pediatric asthma and issues in optimal medication adherence in this population
  2. Be able to evaluate the child with severe asthma and screen for corticosteroid overuse in and remedies to decrease it in this population
  3. Be able to interpret the mechanisms of action, applicable pediatric population, dosing, outcome data, and adverse effects of current and future treatments beyond standard therapy in severe pediatric asthma

Description: Though severe pediatric asthma only represents from 2 to 5% of the children suffering with this condition, it represents a major share of the cost, resource utilization, and morbidity. It is important that allergists have a good gasp of this condition and how it differs from the adult population. Topics include appropriate workup, comorbidities, steroid burden.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Be able to discuss the burden of severe pediatric asthma and issues in optimal medication adherence in this population
  2. Be able to evaluate the child with severe asthma and screen for corticosteroid overuse in and remedies to decrease it in this population
  3. Be able to interpret the mechanisms of action, applicable pediatric population, dosing, outcome data, and adverse effects of current and future treatments beyond standard therapy in severe pediatric asthma
