00:01 So, in a nutshell. 00:02 Asthma. 00:03 It's a reversible obstructive lung disease. 00:06 There are 2 hallmarks: bronchoconstriction and increased mucus production. 00:12 There's variability in the severity, and it requires a baseline management and management of exacerbations. 00:20 Exacerbations, remember, are caused by triggers and the list is long. 00:24 You need to identify the triggers in your patient. 00:28 It can be a clinical diagnosis. 00:30 If it can't be diagnosed clinically or if it's ambiguous, it can be diagnosed by various tests. 00:36 Management of asthma involves a step-wise approach and an asthma action plan. 00:42 Thank you for watching this lecture on asthma.
