Asthma in School Children: Educational Slides (cont.)

The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma

The NHLBI has also made available slide presentations and information on the expert Panel Report 2 (EPR-2): Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma. The EPR-2 slide set is particularly useful in expanding the basic school information to develop a more detailed presentation that focuses on the medical management of asthma, the assessment of severity of the condition, and the importance of partnerships (with health care physicians and other professionals, families and school personnel) to provide education and support to people with asthma.
The slide set consists of 6 parts and includes the following:

  • Introduction


  • Measures of Assessment


  • Control of Factors Contributing to Asthma Severity


  • Pharmacologic Therapy--Overview


  • Management of Exacerbations


  • Education for a Partnership in Asthma Care
