Summary
This study developed Comprehensive Asthma Management (MIA) guidelines for Mexico, offering evidence-based strategies for diagnosis and treatment. The MIA platform ensures updated asthma care tailored to local needs.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Allergology
- Clinical Guideline Development
Background:
- Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease requiring updated management strategies.
- International guidelines for asthma diagnosis and treatment have been recently revised.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a national platform for evidence-based asthma management guidelines in Mexico.
- The platform is named Comprehensive Asthma Management (MIA).
Main Methods:
- Utilized the ADAPTE methodology for guideline development.
- Involved a multidisciplinary expert group and representatives from 13 institutions.
- Reviewed international guidelines (GINA, GEMA, BTS/SIGN, ATS/ERS) and formulated key clinical questions.
Main Results:
- Developed evidence-based responses considering safety, cost, and local context.
- Achieved consensus through a Delphi process involving the MIA development group.
Conclusions:
- Generated a comprehensive document with figures and algorithms for asthma management in Mexico.
- The guidelines are tailored to local realities and supported by multiple professional societies.
- Acute asthma management is not covered in this document.

01:20Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

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.

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
778
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...
