Breathing01:05

Breathing

63.9K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

1.6K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Policy
  • Pediatric Medicine

Background:

  • Asthma is a major public health concern affecting quality of life and healthcare costs.
  • Stock asthma rescue medication policies enable schools to administer unassigned albuterol for emergencies.
  • These policies act as a crucial safety net for students lacking personal medication or a diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the current status of asthma in Illinois.
  • To present stock asthma rescue medication as an innovative policy solution for school-based asthma emergencies.
  • To outline advocacy efforts for implementing stock albuterol in Illinois schools.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing state legislation and regulations regarding school-based asthma medication.
  • Analysis of asthma prevalence and impact in Illinois.
  • Case study approach detailing policy advocacy and implementation.

Main Results:

  • As of September 2019, 13 states have laws authorizing stock asthma rescue medication in schools.
  • Three additional states offer guidelines without specific legislation.
  • Early data suggest these policies reduce 911 calls and emergency transports, improving health outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Stock asthma rescue medication policies are effective fail-safe measures in schools.
  • Illinois enacted legislation for stock albuterol in August 2018.
  • These policies improve access to care and health outcomes for students with asthma.
