Asthma Webinar Pre
Which of the following is true about use of anti-inflammatory therapies (corticosteroids) in patients with asthma?
[ Required ]
Systemic corticosteroids are an effective, low-risk method for treating most asthma exacerbations.
Anti-inflammatory airway effects of inhaled corticosteroids do not occur until 2-3 days of consecutive use.
For patients with mild asthma, SABA-only rescue therapy is preferred to ICS-containing rescue regimens due to improved outcomes and lower corticosteroid exposure.
Adding ICS to a fast-acting bronchodilator for rescue or rescue and maintenance therapy results in fewer exacerbations compared to SABA-only rescue therapy.
Which of the following is true about use of SABA in patients with asthma?
[ Required ]
SABA-only rescue therapy is recommended for patients with mild asthma (step 1) in the GINA 2022 Report.
Increasing SABA use is associated with a higher risk of exacerbations.
SABA + ICS rescue therapy is equally as effective for preventing and treating exacerbations as SABA-only rescue therapy.
There are currently several FDA-approved SABA + ICS combination inhalers available in the United States.
