Managing asthma during pregnancy is crucial for both mother and baby. Effective treatment, including inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), prevents poor outcomes without increasing risks to the fetus.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pulmonology
  • Perinatal Medicine

Background:

  • Asthma complicates 3-8% of pregnancies in the US, posing significant risks.
  • Concerns about fetal effects often lead to undertreatment of asthma in pregnant individuals.
  • Undertreatment is linked to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, including preeclampsia and preterm birth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of active asthma management during pregnancy.
  • To address physician and patient concerns regarding asthma medication safety for the fetus.
  • To highlight optimal therapeutic strategies for pregnant patients with asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current guidelines for asthma management in pregnancy (e.g., NAEPP).
  • Analysis of prospective clinical cohort studies on active asthma management.

  • Case study presentation to illustrate clinical management pearls and pitfalls.

    • Main Results:

    • Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the preferred treatment for persistent asthma in pregnancy.
    • Active asthma management following established guidelines shows no increased maternal or fetal morbidity/mortality.
    • Failure to control asthma during pregnancy significantly increases risks for adverse outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Asthma management goals for pregnant patients are the same as for non-pregnant patients.
    • Effective asthma control during pregnancy is vital and achievable with current therapies.
    • Understanding the safety and efficacy of asthma medications is critical for optimal perinatal care.
