What is the Asthma Action Plan?
The Asthma Action Plan is a written plan that is designed to help people with asthma management. It provides a number of instructions on what to do in different situations that the patient can follow. It has been shown to help patients more effectively administer asthma with a clear and defined plan, and the plan can also be useful in interacting with emergency medical services and other medical care providers. Asthma action plans are usually developed by the patient and her or his specialist in asthma or practicing practicing if the general practitioner treats the patient with the patient. This part also contains the patient's name and contact information, so all this information will be easily available if there is a problem.
Another part of the Asthma action plan is discussing what the patient should do while in the "green" zone of well -controlled asthma. When the patient experiences minimal symptoms in this zone, it may breathe relatively well, does not need a rescue inhaler andIt is comfortable. The Green Zone Actions may include the use of daily medicines to control asthma and mapping top flows.
In the section of the yellow zone, which includes situations where the patient begins to have difficulty, the Astma Action Plan explains what to do. The patient may be asked to take several clouds on a rescue inhaler and wait for improvement. If the symptoms deteriorate, the patient may be pressed into the red zone, which requires immediate medical attention. While in the red zone the patient has extreme breathing problems and may have other symptoms such as nail blluing, indicating poor oxygenation. In the red zone, the patients are recommended to call emergency services.
usually the lower part of the Asthma Action Plan also discusses potential triggering asthma and allergies. This information can use the patient to prevent such triggers and is also a handy recording inside the patient's graph.
