Asthma key points:
- seen in younger pts, especially if there is a hx of allergies/eczema
- wheezing, dyspnea, cough (remember, wheezing is simply the flow of air through a constricted airway)
- PE: wheezing, prolonged expiratory phase
- PE: hyperinflation & hyperresonance are ominous signs and signify greater airway constriction
- PE: severe dyspnea (accessory muscle use and/or no lung sounds) = status asthmaticus = medical emergency
- chronic vs. acute management has big difference.
