In
this tutorial we will provide an
overview of Asthma including its causes,
prevalence and management.
We
have included patient education,
medications
and treatment options.
We
will also discuss the complications of
asthma and the management of an acute
asthma attack both in a health care
facility environment and a first aid
situation.
Asthma
affects 10% of the Australian population
