11 Take-Home Points RTBoardReview Simulation Year Old Male in Respiratory Distress Condition/Diagnosis: Asthma (Severe Exacerbation) Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that often begins in childhood and may be associated with a family history of the disease. An IgE-mediated response to certain allergens (atopy) is the most common predisposing factor, with viral infections being an important cause of exacerbations. Pathologically, it is characterized by airway infiltration of inflammatory cells (neutrophils, eosinophils), mast cell activation and epithelial cell injury, with the resulting inflammation causing airway hyperresponsiveness and airflow obstruction. Key pointers in the assessment and treatment of patients with asthma suffering an acute exacerbation requiring emergency treatment include the following: Assessment/Information Gathering Initial assessment should include a brief history, brief physical exam and objective measures of lung function (if obtainable - not indicated in severe or life-threatening exacerbations) The initial history should include 1) time of onset and likely causes of current exacerbation; 2) severity of symptoms, and response to any treatment given before admission to ED; 3) all current medications and time of last dose; 4) estimate of number of previous ED visits and hospitalizations; and 5) other potentially complicating illness, especially pulmonary or cardiac disorders The initial physical exam should assess 1) the severity of the exacerbation; 2) overall patient status, e.g., level of alertness, presence of cyanosis, respiratory distress, and wheezing (see following table). Note that severe obstruction may be accompanied by a 'silent chest'. Assessment Severity Moderate Severe Life-Threatening Breathlessness Dyspnea at rest; talks in phrases Dyspnea at rest; talks in words Limited effort indicating fatigue Sensorium/behavior Alert/may be agitated Alert/usually agitated Drowsy or confused Respiratory rate Tachypnea Tachypnea Bradypnea possible Work of breathing/ respiratory distress May show accessory muscle use with Usually shows accessory muscle use May exhibit thoracoabdominal paradox retractions with retractions Heart rate/pulse Tachycardia with Tachycardia with pulsus Bradycardia pulsus paradoxus paradoxus Breath sounds Prominent expiratory Prominent inspiratory + wheezing expiratory wheezes FEV 1 or PF (% pred) 40% < 40% (if able) < 25% (if able) PaO 2/SaO 2 (air) 60 torr/90% < 60 torr/90% < 60 torr/90% PaCO 2/pH < torr/ ph >40 torr/n or ph >45-50 torr/ ph (indicating fatigue) Absence of wheezing ( silent chest ) Pulse oximetry is indicated for any patient who is in severe distress; serial measurements are useful in assessing both the severity of the exacerbation and improvement with treatment Laboratory studies may be helpful, but they are not required for most patients, and they should not delay initiation treatment 11
12 CBC is not required routinely but may be useful in patients who have fever or purulent sputum Consider ABGs for evaluating PaCO2 levels in patients who have suspected hypoventilation, severe distress, or those with a FEV1 or PEF < 25 percent of predicted after initial treatment (note that respiratory alkalosis is common early in an attack, so a 'normal' PCO2 of torr may indicate worsening hypoventilation and an increased risk of respiratory failure) Chest radiography is not essential for routine assessment but should be obtained for patients suspected of a complicating cardiopulmonary process, such as congestive heart failure, pneumothorax, pneumonia, or lobar atelectasis. An ECG is not required routinely, but a baseline ECG may be appropriate in patients older than 50 years of age and in those who have coexistent heart disease or COPD pulmonary Differential diagnosis includes upper airway obstruction due to foreign body aspiration, hematomas, infection (e.g., epiglottitis), vocal cord dysfunction, tracheal narrowing or COPD Treatment/Decision-Making Treatment should begin immediately following recognition of a moderate, severe, or lifethreatening exacerbation Initial treatment should include: o O2 therapy to maintain SpO2 90% (monitor until a good bronchodilator response occurs) o Short-acting beta agonist (SABA) aerosol therapy, e.g., albuterol Repeat SABA treatments every minutes (x3) as needed Combine ipratropium bromide with the SABA for severe exacerbations Consider continuous SABA administration for severe exacerbations o Systemic corticosteroids to decrease airway inflammation Consider adjunct treatments such as heliox and/or IV magnesium sulfate for severe exacerbations unresponsive to these initial treatments (may decrease need for intubation) Do not recommend methylxanthines, antibiotics (except as needed for comorbid conditions), chest physical therapy, mucolytics, or sedation In the conscious and cooperative patient whose PaCO2 is rising (> torr), a trial of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) may prevent further deterioration If the patient already has progressed to life-threatening respiratory failure (ph < 7.25), application of NPPV may only delay needed intubation and invasive support Ventilator management of severe asthma involves low volumes (plateau pressures 30 cm H2O) and long expiratory times; use of extrinsic applied PEEP is not required; in the worst cases hypercapnia is allowed as long as the ph remains above 7.25; permissive hypercapnia may require heavy sedation. 12
