Definition of asthma and modern principles of treatment of bronchial asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract, manifested by the attacks of choking, shortness of breath (with predominant embroidery), cough.
It should be noted that such a look at asthma, as in inflammatory disease, formed a little over 15 years ago. This is exactly how to achieve a breakthrough in the treatment of bronchial asthma. Prior to this, asthma was considered as a bronchological disease with the appropriate treatment approach: drugs were prescribed, mainly on the removal of bronchospasm. Such treatment led to a rapid progression of asthma and disabled patients.
As soon as the pulmonologists decided to direct their efforts not to remove bronchospasm, but on its cause - inflammation on the mucous membranes, asthma immediately became controlled. However, 15 years old turned out to be not enough for all our doctors to get acquainted with new views on asthma and the approaches to the treatment of asthma. Therefore, today, patients are addressed to our center, who are not even suspected that there is something else to treat asthma, except for bronchorads (Berothek, Berodal, Ventalin, Salbutamol, Astmopent, Eufillin and its derivatives). Worse, the doctor, uncomplicated familiar with the new achievements in the field of asthma, also intimidate patients harm from new anti-inflammatory drugs. But we will try to be at the forefront of new achievements in the treatment of asthma. And if the international consensus on bronchial asthma, adopted in 1993 aims to fight inflammation, as for the reason for the bronchic structure during asthma, we will try to affect the cause of inflammation. It is for this purpose that a special immunological program has been developed in the clinic, allowing to identify the cause of inflammation and effectively deal with it. Also, in the treatment of our patients, the device is successfully applied « Aster-M».
Do you choose the right antioxtmatic treatment?
With proper treatment of asthma:
- There is no need for forced receptions of bronchodinist (Berotek, Ventalin, Eufillin), t.E. asthma controlled;
- patient with asthma there is no need to hospitalize, he does not worry «ambulance»;
- Reception of basic anti-asthma drugs planned stepped comes on no;
- And, most importantly, the patient leads a full-fledged active life, feels healthy, does not limit himself because of asthma.
With improper treatment of asthma:
- Periodically arises the need for a forced reception of bronchorads due to asthmatic seizures. If you use Berotek type inhalers 4-5 times a day, you are one step from hospitalization by «Emergency». If more than 4-5 times a day, at any time it can happen irreparable;
- Periodically you independently do not cope with asthmatic attacks and are forced to call «ambulance» and even hospitalized;
- The need for anti-asthma inhalers is growing, asthma progresses;
- You are limited in everything, we can talk about disability, asthma does not allow you to forget about yourself for a minute.
Know, today such a situation with asthma has no right to life.
