Preventing Acute asthma attacks
<p>An asthma attack is a risk factor for future attacks. This episode of Asthma Spotlight is about preventing future asthma attacks. An asthma exacerbation or attack happens when underlying asthma is poorly controlled and is therefore a clear signal that the management needs to be optimised. So logically, part of the management of an attack should include taking action to identify what went wrong and deal with any modifiable risk factors for poor asthma control.</p><p>Please message me with any questions at <a href="mailto:asthmaspotlight@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">asthmaspotlight@gmail.com</a>.</p><br><p><strong>Asthma Spotlight</strong> <strong>PODCAST Disclaimer</strong>: The opinions I express in this <strong>Asthma Spotlight</strong> <strong>PODCAST or video </strong>are not intended as, and shall not be understood or construed as, medical, health, or professional advice of any kind.

Acute Asthma
<p>This week, on World Asthma Day GINA (<a href="http://www.ginasthma.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.ginasthma.org</a>) published the 2026 updated evidence based Guidance for management of Asthma. In this podcast, I have shared my initial thoughts on one aspect of this new document, acute asthma management. Four new charts for managing exacerbations/Attacks – two for primary care and two for Emergency departments for children under five and all other ages have been developed. I chose to discuss these first because asthma attacks are a signal that the chronic treatment has failed and in addition to management of the attacks, the underlying chronic management also need to be optimised.

Improve Asthma Care - Three simple tasks for clinicians
<p>Asthma care needs to be improved as a matter of urgency in the United kingdom and probably elsewhere as well. As we near the end of 2025, with evidence of poor outcomes especially in children and young people, its time for a new years resolution for clinicians caring for people with asthma. In my final Asthmaspotlight podcast episode for 2025, I strongly suggest three actions that doctors can take to improve the lives of their patients with asthma or suspected asthma. By implementing these three logical actions, asthma attacks, hospitalisations and deaths as well as clinicians workload will be reduced in my view. These are, i) using simple evidence based treatment for asthma, ii) ensuring the term asthma or suspected asthma is recorded in the medical notes and iii) understanding that asthma is a chronic, not simply an acute disease requiring optimisation of the underlying chronic disease as part of the management of acute attacks which indicate that chronic management has failed.</p><p>For more information on the latest asthma guidance see <a href="http://www.ginasthma.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.ginasthma.org</a> and for practical ideas for improving asthma care see <a href="http://www.bigcatdoc.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.bigcatdoc.com</a> and for a talk on how to perform a post asthma attack review see <a href="https://bit.ly/3I48YLG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3I48YLG</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Asthma Spotlight PODCAST and YOUTUBE Disclaimer: </strong>The opinions I express in these blogs, podcasts and videos are not intended as, and shall not be understood or construed as, medical, health, or professional advice of any kind.
