Using a validated questionnaire, these subjects were surveyed within 48 hours of admission concerning their chronic outpatient medical management and the measures patients or their physicians took to alleviate symptoms during the asthma exacerbation leading to hospitalization. The average asthma admission rate in the past year for this group of patients was 2.5, indicative of moderate to severe disease. Less than half of these patients had been prescribed inhaled anti-inflammatory therapy. Of the patients who had previously been shown the metered dose inhaler technique by a health care professional, 11% could perform all components of this te...Continue Reading
