Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.1K
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Summary

Optimizing asthma control before surgery is crucial for preventing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in asthmatic patients. Well-controlled asthma, particularly at lower treatment steps, significantly reduces the risk of these adverse events.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting millions globally.
  • Surgical procedures are common in asthmatic patients throughout their lives.
  • Accurate assessment of respiratory function and asthma control is vital for perioperative management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between preoperative and postoperative factors and the occurrence of postoperative complications in asthmatic patients.
  • To identify predictors of adverse respiratory outcomes in patients with asthma undergoing surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, cross-sectional study involving 111 asthmatic patients from 10 tertiary centers.
  • Patients underwent evaluation 1-7 days before surgery and on postoperative days 3 and 7-10.
  • Key metrics included Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, spirometry (FEV1), peak flow rate, and oxygen saturation (SaO2).

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant decline was observed in ACT scores, FEV1, peak flow rate, and SaO2 from preoperative to postoperative day 3 (p<0.001 for all).
  • Bronchospasm and pain were the most frequent postoperative complications.
  • General anesthesia was used in 89.2% of patients, with 33.3% undergoing thoracoabdominal surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Asthma controlled with low-to-moderate treatment steps (1-3) is not associated with severe postoperative pulmonary complications.
  • Achieving optimal asthma control preoperatively is the "gold standard" for minimizing PPC risk.
  • Preoperative optimization of asthma management is essential for improving surgical outcomes in this patient population.
