Asthma
·
Inhalers – treat bronchial constrictions
·
Issues:
o
Not using soon enough – therefore drugs won’t
reach into smaller airways
·
Spot it early and use a spacer – the spacer
increases effienciency and allows the drug to get to where it needs to go.
·
When using a spacer sacrifice the first spray
then do 3-5 breaths per spray
·
Keep using the inhaler
until the asthma attack ends

Allergic reactions affect airways and the blood
stream
