This book emphasises the "back to basics" approach, which is often forgotten in a high technology healthcare system. The chapters are set out in such a way that the practitioner can follow the patient journey from the initial signs and symptoms of asthma, through to diagnosis and management.
Written by nurses for nurses, Asthma Care in the Community emphasizes the "back to basics" approach, which is often forgotten in a high technology healthcare system. The book covers epidemiology, including prevalence, morbidity, and mortality; the economic and social burden of asthma; the pathology and pathophysiology of asthma; managing patients with asthma, both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically; managing uncomplicated asthma, right through to the more complex issues surrounding acute episodes and "difficult to manage" situations.
