Key Tips to Manage Asthma and Avoid Hospitalisation

1.   Choose the Right Equipment: Ensure your therapy devices are suited to your needs for effective treatment.

2.   Monitoring Your Condition with Nebulisers and Spacers: Regular monitoring of your respiratory condition at home is essential when using nebulisers and spacers. Devices like peak flow meters or oximeters play a crucial role:

·    Track Treatment Effectiveness: These devices monitor how well your treatment is working, as well as your lung function and blood oxygen levels.

·    Early Warning System: Most importantly, they provide early detection of deteriorating breathing before symptoms appear. Research shows that breathing function can decline by 30% or more before symptoms are noticeable, indicating an advanced condition with limited time for home response.

·    Preventative Action: Early warnings allow for prompt intervention at home, often preventing the need for hospitalisation. Monitoring your respiratory health with these devices ensures timely adjustments to your treatment plan, promoting better management of respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD...   

3.   Avoid Allergy Triggers: Identify and minimize exposure to allergens to reduce asthma attacks.

4.   Follow Your Asthma Plan as Necessary: It's crucial to have an asthma management plan prepared by your doctor. This plan should be readily accessible at home and clearly outline steps for adjusting medications and therapies in case of worsening symptoms.  

Here's how to effectively implement your asthma plan:

·    Consult with Your Doctor: Regularly review your asthma plan with your doctor to ensure it is up-to-date and tailored to your current health status.

·    Understand Your Plan: Familiarize yourself with the specific instructions in your asthma plan. Know when and how to adjust medications or therapies based on your symptoms.

·    Ensure Medication Availability: Keep all prescribed medications on hand and ensure they are not expired. Having medications readily available allows for immediate action during exacerbations.

·    Emergency Preparedness: Be prepared for emergencies by knowing when to seek medical help and how to manage acute symptoms until help arrives.
