Summary
New asthma guidelines recommend inhaled corticosteroids-formoterol (ICS-formoterol) as rescue therapy. This review identifies school implementation barriers and offers solutions like updated action plans and education for effective ICS-formoterol use.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- School Health Policy
- Pharmacotherapy Implementation
Background:
- Recent asthma guidelines (GINA 2019, NAEPP 2020) favor inhaled corticosteroids-formoterol (ICS-formoterol) over short-acting beta-agonists for rescue inhalers.
- The shift in guidelines necessitates adaptation within school settings for optimal asthma management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify barriers hindering the implementation of ICS-formoterol as rescue therapy in schools.
- To propose actionable solutions for overcoming these identified barriers.
Main Methods:
- Review of current asthma management guidelines and school health policies.
- Analysis of practical challenges faced by schools in adopting new therapeutic recommendations.
Main Results:
- Key barriers include outdated asthma action plans, insufficient school nursing and parental education, and variations in dosing protocols.
- Identified solutions involve updating and individualizing asthma action plans.
- Comprehensive education for school staff, parents, and guardians on appropriate ICS-formoterol dosing is crucial.
Conclusions:
- Successful implementation of ICS-formoterol rescue therapy in schools requires addressing systemic and educational barriers.
- Proactive strategies focusing on policy updates and stakeholder education are essential for improving asthma care in educational environments.

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.
