• Provide guided self-management education (self-monitoring + written action plan + regular review)
REMEMBER
• Treat modifiable risk factors and comorbidities, e.g. smoking, obesity, anxiety
TO...
• Advise about non-pharmacological therapies and strategies, e.g. physical activity, weight loss, avoidance of
sensitizers where appropriate
• Consider stepping up if … uncontrolled symptoms, exacerbations or risks, but check diagnosis, inhaler
technique and adherence first
• Consider adding SLIT in adult HDM-sensitive patients with allergic rhinitis who have exacerbations despite
ICS treatment, provided FEV1 is >70% predicted
• Consider stepping down if … symptoms controlled for 3 months + low risk for exacerbations.
Ceasing ICS is not advised.

Managing exacerbations in primary care
PRIMARY CARE Patient presents with acute or sub-acute asthma exacerbation
Is it asthma?
ASSESS the PATIENT Risk factors for asthma-related death?
Severity of exacerbation?
START TREATMENT
SABA 4–10 puffs by pMDI + spacer, TRANSFER TO ACUTE
repeat every 20 minutes for 1 hour CARE FACILITY
WORSENING
Prednisolone: adults 1 mg/kg, max.
50 mg, children 1–2 mg/kg, max. 40 mg While waiting: give inhaled
SABA and ipratropium bromide,
Controlled oxygen (if available): target O2, systemic corticosteroid
saturation 93–95% (children: 94-98%)
IMPROVING
FOLLOW UP
Reliever: reduce to as-needed
Controller: continue higher dose for short term (1–2 weeks) or long term (3 months), depending
on background to exacerbation
Risk factors: check and correct modifiable risk factors that may have contributed to exacerbation,
including inhaler technique and adherence
Action plan: Is it understood? Was it used appropriately? Does it need modification?
