Prehospital Treatment of Asthma

 acute pulmonary edema, CHF, pneumonia
Effective treatment of an asthmatic requires an understanding of the physiologic causes of asthma and the patient’s severity.  Pre-hospital care providers who can gauge the severity of asthma and deliver the appropriate treatment will be more effective in treating asthmatics.

In this webinar Steven Kanarian will review the physiologic causes of asthma, elements of a history of present illness, physical exam and the key treatments for this disease. Both new and experienced providers will have deeper understanding of the causes, diagnosis and treatment of asthma upon completion of this webinar.  This recorded webinar is available for a limited time below.
