  • Title: Practical approaches to treating acute bronchospasm.
    Author: Cline DC.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 2005 Dec; 118(6 Suppl Acute):9-17. PubMed ID: 19667711.
    Abstract:
    Both the National Asthma Education Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines for asthma and the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stress the importance of treating acute bronchospasm. Important steps for each disease are making a differential diagnosis, assessing the possibility of future exacerbations, applying disease management principles to prevent and/or treat bronchospasm exacerbations, identifying acutely ill patients, and determining when hospitalization or specialist referrals are appropriate.
