Asthma is the leading cause of hospital admissions during childhood. Kumar and Robbins give an accurate definition of asthma as “a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night and/or early in the morning” (489). Asthma is a terrifying disease, especially in children, because of the sudden attacks that could claim lives if not treated immediately and effectively. Despite recent advancements in available drugs and overall therapy, the incidence of childhood asthma is rising (Dolovich 373). In order to effectively treat and eventually prevent the onset of asthma, more effective and economical therapies are necessary; although

- Another initiative of Asthma Australia, Asthma Kids is a fun, interactive website to teach children with asthma about their condition.

Many low-income minority families tend to reside in areas with lower housing quality. These home acts as an important exposure site for numerous indoor allergens and asthma triggers. Research has shown a significant correlation between housing quality and health outcomes. Studies have also shown a higher prevalence of asthma in urban areas due to quality of air, housing and access to health care. The cross-sectional study “Homes of low-income minority families with asthmatic children have increased condition issues “, examined the hypothesis that low-income minority urban households with asthmatic children experienced more home, structural condition–related areas of concern than their white counterparts households with asthmatic children. Results

Having Asthma can affect a person in a number of ways. The physical symptoms can range from the occasional cough all the way to life-threatening cases which are not being able to breathe. The seriousness and frequency of asthma symptoms is all dependant on how well the individual can control their Asthma. There are three symptoms of Asthma, the first being airway obstruction. Allergic substances and environmental triggers make a chain of muscle surrounding the airways tighten, and air cannot move freely. So my theory for this type of symptom would be; if a person was running through a park surrounded with many blossoming flowers, they began to sneeze and became short of breath would be because of the pollen floating around in the air. The second symptom is inflammation; with this type people have red swollen bronchial tubes, which are the airways of the lungs. This inflammation is thought to add greatly to the long-term damage Asthma can cause to the lungs. So my understanding for this type would be; a person has had inflammation for years and now has severe damage to his lungs. So therefore, treating this inflammation would be to the key to managing Asthma in the long run. The third symptom is airway irritability; the airways for people with this type are extremely sensitive. The airways tends to overreact and narrow due even the smallest triggers like pollen or animal dander, My theory for this type would be; If a person has got a new with really messy hair that

The CDC reports that 6.8 million, or 9.3% of all children in the United States currently have asthma, making it the most common chronic childhood illness in the United States. It affects nearly 25% more boys than girls, and Non-Hispanic black children have nearly double the incidence of other ethnicities Also, 13% of children in poor families have asthma, compared to 8% of children in families that are not poor (CDC, 2012). Childhood asthma was responsible for 14 million lost school days in 2004 (Chipps, 2008). This paper discusses asthma and treatment as it pertains to a 13-year-old boy. Topics discussed include pathophysiology, growth and development concepts, patient assessment, management, interventions, patient and family teaching, and QSEN competencies.

According to Barnett and Nurmagambetov, from the time period of 2002-2007, 886 children under the age of 15 died due to asthma. Using the 2009 figure for value of an average life of any of those children, the grand total for loss of life in the world for just those 5 years is almost 1.2 billion dollars. (145-152) Child-onset asthma may not be the greatest killer of children to plaque this planet but it is a real and terrifying experience for both children and their parents. Mothers and fathers can fight against this illness but they need to know how to deal with asthma and what to do when an attack happens can help prevent these deaths from happening.

Climate change is now a widely-accepted fact. We know that the earth is changing, and not necessarily for the better. Air quality is worsening, temperatures are increasing and fluctuating, greenhouse gases are rampant, and plants are changing their behavior. All of these add up to increased and worsening cases of asthma in children. Children are already more prone to sickness and disease, and climate change is only making it worse. According to the World Health Organization, 80% of the climate change health burden falls on children less than 5 years old. How tough is climate change for kids with asthma? There are several issues that climate change creates for young asthmatics.

The hospital setting is a confusing and stressful environment for everyone, but especially to children who are admitted because of a chronic illness. When the words “pediatric chronic illness” is said, most people just think of the different types of cancers that children endure. Such as leukemia, which is a widely known type of pediatric cancer. But it is important to keep in mind the many other types of chronic illnesses that children may be experiencing. Haymon, Mahon, Turner, a group of professional medical experts who all carry a PhD under their belt and other certifications, gathered together and wrote a book focusing on five chronic illnesses examined in children, which are: pediatric asthma, Type 1 diabetes, juvenile idiopathic arthritis,

Although many Organization such as national and international guidelines from the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) highlighted the importance of evaluating asthma severity in children before the beginning of therapy. Severe asthma is known when lungs are not function normally and develop tenacious symptoms despite appropriate therapy. Asthma in children is a chronic, continuous disorder and categorized by airway inflammation. It also has different phases. While some children with asthma have symptoms that are improved with short-acting bronchodilators, many other children have continuous symptoms requiring daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Children with

There are parents who are having second thoughts of having a pet inside their home, especially when the mother is pregnant. But, having a cat inside your household may prevent asthma in newborns, according to a study by scientists from the Copenhagen Studies on Asthma in Childhood Research Center in Denmark. “Cats neutralize the effect of a that, when activated, doubles the risk of developing asthma in children,” Thomas Hoffmann wrote in his article for the ScienceNordic. When you cat living with you even before the baby is born, it may mean that the gene will not be activated.
