    Similarly, examination may reveal wheezing and prolonged expiratory phase, or may be quite normal. Consequently, a potential for under-diagnosis exists. Measurement of airflow, such as peak expiratory flow rates, which can be done inexpensively on the track or sideline, may prove helpful.

    It is also preferred due to the former term giving the false impression that asthma is caused by exercise. In a patient with EIB, exercise initially follows the normal patterns of bronchodilation. However, by three minutes, the constriction sets in, which peaks at around 10–15 minutes, and usually resolves itself by an hour.

    The cause for acute severe asthma attacks is still unknown and experts are also unsure of why it developed and why it does not respond to typical asthma treatments. [7] [medical citation needed] Not seeing a doctor regularly, therefore asthma is not under good control; Coming in contact with asthma triggers; Allergies or severe allergic reactions

  5. Peak expiratory flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_expiratory_flow

    From changes in recorded values, patients and doctors may determine lung functionality, the severity of asthma symptoms, and treatment. Measurement of PEFR requires training to correctly use a meter and the normal expected value depends on the patient's sex, age, and height. It is classically reduced in obstructive lung disorders such as asthma.

  6. Wheeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeze

    A wheeze is a clinical symptom of a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced in the respiratory airways during breathing. [1] For wheezes to occur, part of the respiratory tree must be narrowed or obstructed (for example narrowing of the lower respiratory tract in an asthmatic attack), or airflow velocity within the respiratory tree must be heightened.

  7. Asthma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma

    Asthma phenotyping and endotyping has emerged as a novel approach to asthma classification inspired by precision medicine which separates the clinical presentations of asthma, or asthma phenotypes, from their underlying causes, or asthma endotypes. The best-supported endotypic distinction is the type 2-high/type 2-low distinction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Initiative_for_Asthma

    GINA conducts continuous review of scientific publications on asthma and is a leader in disseminating information about the care of patients with asthma. [2] GINA publishes resources such as evidence-based guidelines for asthma management, and runs special events such as World Asthma Day. GINA's guidelines, revised each year, are used by ...

  9. Bronchial thermoplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchial_Thermoplasty

    Bronchial thermoplasty [1] is a treatment for severe asthma approved by the FDA in 2010 involving the delivery of controlled, therapeutic radiofrequency energy to the airway wall, thus heating the tissue and reducing the amount of smooth muscle present in the airway wall.
