Asimple questionnaire canidentifychildren withpoorly controlled asthma who suffer from asthma symptoms that limit their daily activities. A panel ofasthma specialists developed two questionnaires (Childhood Asthma Control Test, C-ACT score), one for children aged 4-11 years and another for those aged >II. Objective: To assess the incidence of anaesthetic complications in a cohort of patients with asthma undergoing anaesthesia and surgery. Design, Setting and Patients: 79 patients (who underwent a total of 80 anaesthetics) who were admitted for elective surgery at a major tertiary referral hospital, during a seven month period were enrolled. Data on asthma control and severity were collected. Dexmedetomidine used in monitored anesthesia care produces a safe and effective technique well docu-mented in research. We report the successful use of dexmedetomidine for sedation during bronchial ther-moplasty, a new treatment for patients with severe persistent asthma refractory to inhaled corticosteroids and long-term β-2 agonists

Degree of asthma control: If your asthma isn't well-controlled, your risk of adverse post-surgical events increases.You could have poorly controlled asthma if you aren't.

Introduction. Asthma continues to inflict significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advances in therapy and in our understanding of its pathophysiology, the prevalence of asthma is increasing [1-3], although there is significant age and geographic variation [].While the prevalence of asthma has increased, outcomes of severe asthma appear to be improving, with lower complication.

UpToDate, the evidence-based clinical decision support resource from Wolters Kluwer, is trusted at the point of care by clinicians worldwide Providing anesthesia to patients with myotonic dystrophy (DM) can be very challenging due to the multisystemic effects of the disease and extreme sensitivity of these patients to sedatives, opioids, and anesthetic agents. Other factors such as hypothermia, shivering, or mechanical or electric stimulation during surgery can precipitate myotonia which is difficult to abolish and can lead to. INTRODUCTION. This topic will review the anesthetic and other clinical effects of inhalation anesthetics including the potent volatile agents (sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane [and in some countries, halothane]) and one gas (nitrous oxide [N 2 O]), as well as uses of each agent to induce and maintain general anesthesia.
