Technique, tests, and timely step-up: making inhaler use, biomarkers, and escalation routine in asthma

In this online, self-learning activity: Asthma remains a highly prevalent chronic respiratory disease, affecting more than 26 million people in the United States, including over 4.5 million children, with several thousand deaths and substantial emergency department and inpatient utilization each year despite effective preventives. Persistent symptoms, recurrent exacerbations, and preventable hospitalizations indicate gaps in risk stratification and in the consistent application of guideline-based care, even with comprehensive frameworks such as the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) strategy. Many severe attacks still occur, requiring parenteral bronchodilators, systemic corticosteroids, magnesium sulfate, oxygen, and respiratory-support devices, underscoring missed opportunities to optimize maintenance regimens and device use upstream.
