  2. Asthma trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma_trigger

    Asthma triggers are factors or stimuli that provoke the exacerbation of asthma symptoms or increase the degree of airflow disruption, which can lead to an asthma attack. [1] An asthma attack is characterized by an obstruction of the airway , hypersecretion of mucus and bronchoconstriction due to the contraction of smooth muscles around the ...

  3. Pathophysiology of asthma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology_of_asthma

    The mechanisms behind allergic asthma—i.e., asthma resulting from an immune response to inhaled allergens—are the best understood of the causal factors. In both people with asthma and people who are free of the disease, inhaled allergens that find their way to the inner airways are ingested by a type of cell known as antigen-presenting ...

  4. Asthma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma

    Asthma phenotyping and endotyping has emerged as a novel approach to asthma classification inspired by precision medicine which separates the clinical presentations of asthma, or asthma phenotypes, from their underlying causes, or asthma endotypes. The best-supported endotypic distinction is the type 2-high/type 2-low distinction.

  5. Anti-asthmatic agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-asthmatic_agent

    An anti-asthmatic agent, also known as an anti-asthma drug, refers to a drug that can aid in airway smooth muscle dilation to allow normal breathing during an asthma attack or reduce inflammation on the airway to decrease airway resistance for asthmatic patients, or both. The goal of asthmatic agents is to reduce asthma exacerbation frequencies ...

  6. Bronchoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchoconstriction

    Onset of action for SAMAs is typically between 30 and 60 minutes, making these drugs less efficacious in treating acute asthma attacks and bronchospasm. [9] Most common side effects for these drugs may include dry mouth, headache, urinary tract infection, and bronchitis.

  7. Acute severe asthma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_severe_asthma

    Very severe acute asthma (termed "near-fatal" as there is an immediate risk to life) is characterised by a peak flow of less than 33% predicted, oxygen saturations below 92% or cyanosis (blue discoloration, usually of the lips), absence of audible breath sounds over the chest ("silent chest" : wheezing is not heard because there is not enough ...

  8. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise-induced_broncho...

    It might be expected that people with EIB would present with shortness of breath, and/or an elevated respiratory rate and wheezing, consistent with an asthma attack. However, many will present with decreased stamina, or difficulty in recovering from exertion compared to team members, or paroxysmal coughing from an irritable airway. [ 2 ]

  9. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchial_hyperresponsiveness

    Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a hallmark of asthma but also occurs frequently in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [2] In the Lung Health Study, bronchial hyperresponsiveness was present in approximately two-thirds of patients with non-severe COPD, and this predicted lung function decline independently of other ...
