Severe Pediatric Asthma Miniseries - Episode 2
Thursday May 11, 2023
Thursday May 11, 2023
Episode 2: Severe pediatric asthma-evaluation of the child, diagnostic testing, assessing steroid side effects
Description: Though severe pediatric asthma only represents from 2 to 5% of the children suffering with this condition, it represents a major share of the cost, resource utilization, and morbidity. It is important that allergists have a good gasp of this condition and how it differs from the adult population. Topics include appropriate workup, comorbidities, steroid burden.
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to discuss the burden of severe pediatric asthma and issues in optimal medication adherence in this population
- Be able to evaluate the child with severe asthma and screen for corticosteroid overuse in and remedies to decrease it in this population
- Be able to interpret the mechanisms of action, applicable pediatric population, dosing, outcome data, and adverse effects of current and future treatments beyond standard therapy in severe pediatric asthma
