Emergency and Long Term Asthma Management

Asthma remains a leading cause of emergency department visits and preventable hospitalizations, yet gaps persist in both acute management and long-term control. This interactive CME session will bridge clinical best practices with real-world application, equipping providers with the latest evidence-based strategies to:

Key Learning Objectives:

1. Respond Confidently to Acute Exacerbations

   • Recognize high-risk asthma presentations and apply evidence-based emergency protocols, including SABA, steroids, and advanced interventions (e.g., magnesium, BiPAP).

   • Determine discharge readiness and reduce relapse risk with actionable follow-up plans.

2. Optimize Long-Term Control

   • Implement the 2024 GINA guideline updates, including ICS/LABA first-line therapy and biologic selection for severe asthma.

   • Address SABA overuse and design personalized asthma action plans to improve adherence.

3. Engage Patients Effectively

   • Master inhaler technique coaching and mitigate barriers (cost, health literacy).

   • Leverage ACT (e.g., symptom trackers) for proactive monitoring.

Why Attend?

• Case-Based Learning: Analyze real-world scenarios with expert faculty.

• Guideline-Driven: Updates aligned with GINA Guidelines

• Practical Takeaways: Templates for asthma action plans, inhaler checklists, and patient education resources.

Elevate your practice—from crisis intervention to lifelong asthma control.
