Bronchial asthma \u2013 therapy<\/h1>\n

Here is an overview of the most important therapeutic measures.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Medication-based therapy for bronchial asthma<\/h2>\n

The focus of all therapeutic measures for bronchial asthma is medication-based treatment. The active agents are often administered in the form of a medicated spray (metered-dose inhaler).<\/p>\n

There are 3 groups of drugs, in particular, that allow for a relatively symptom-free life for patients:[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/asthma-bronchiale-therapie.jpg” alt=”Asthma bronchiale – Therapie” title_text=”Asthma bronchiale – Therapie” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1080px” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bronchospasmolytics dilate the bronchi and relieve the cramping of the bronchial musculature (bronchospasms) during an asthmatic attack.<\/li>\n
  2. Corticosteroids are drugs containing cortisone that have an anti-inflammatory effect. Just like bronchospasmolytics, they are administered through inhalation in most cases.<\/li>\n
  3. Secretolytics are secretion-loosening agents that dilute stubborn phlegm and ease expectoration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Auxiliary devices for bronchial asthma<\/h2>\n

    Peak-Flow-Meter<\/h4>\n

    A peak flow meter is used for regular measurement of the peak flow, i.e. the maximum flow rate during exhalation, and is part of the basic equipment of chronic pulmonary patients. Based on the progression of values obtained, patients can monitor the course of their condition and identify any worsening early on.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ header_4_font=”|600|||||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    Inhalation devices (spacers)<\/h4>\n

    Spacers such as the RC-Chamber\u00ae<\/a> improve and facilitate the use of metered-dose inhalers. Children and older asthma patients, in particular, often have difficulty coordinating the inhalation and the burst of spray. Studies have shown that the additional use of a spacer results in more active agent penetrating the target area.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ header_4_font=”|600|||||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    Respiratory physiotherapy with PEP \/ OPEP systems<\/h4>\n

    With the use of PEP \/ OPEP systems such as the RC-Cornet\u00ae<\/a>, asthma patients can conduct easy and effective training for the airways. Exhaling into the device generates fluctuations in pressure and flow that are transmitted to the bronchial system. This process dilates the bronchi and physically eases expectoration.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1080px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    Hyposensitisation<\/h2>\n

With each allergy shot, the body receives a tiny quantity of allergen administered into the skin. Over time, the dose is increased and the body is sensitised to the allergen. With successful therapy, contact with the allergen results in only a weak or possibly no allergic reaction. The patient\u2019s allergy remains existent, but there is no reaction.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_line_height=”1.7em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]However, not every hyposensitisation results in the desired success. With increasing age, the number of allergens mostly increases and the chances of success decrease. Treatment risks are also present because the patient is directly exposed to the allergy-triggering substance. In addition to serious local reactions (swelling, welts), asthma symptoms such as heavy coughing and shortness of breath may also appear. Therefore, hyposensitisation may only be conducted under a physician\u2019s supervision.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_tablet=”||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_align=”center” text_text_align=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
