Asthma Management Handbook 2006 (Revised, Updated 6th Edition) Summary:Publisher: National Asthma Council Australia Edition: Revised, Updated, 6th edition Type: Book; English Publication Date: 2006. ISBN13: 9781876122072 ISBN10: 1876122072 ISSN: 13254405 OCLC: 225438201 It is a pleasure to present the sixth edition of the Asthma Management Handbook to health care practitioners. Like previous editions, the Asthma Management Handbook 2006 aims to help clinicians and other health professionals make changes in their practice based on sound evidence, and where evidence is lacking, the consensus opinion of Australian experts has been incorporated. The Handbook acknowledges the difficulties of providing organised care in the primary care setting and tries to provide practical strategies that will assist with diagnosis, ongoing management and patient education. While primarily aimed at GPs, the Handbook is also intended as a resource and teaching tool for community pharmacists, nurses, asthma educators, ambulance officers, consumer representatives and healthcare students. This edition is the outcome of a long development process begun in January 2004, when the National Asthma Council Australia (NAC) surveyed GPs about their preferences for the next version of the Handbook. The results of that national survey confirmed that GPs still wanted a hard copy publication as well as a web version, and that they sought more information on issues such as allergy in asthma, comorbidities, combination therapies, and systematic care. In June 2004 the NAC convened a multidisciplinary steering committee of experts drawn from health professional bodies: The Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, and from the Australian Asthma and Health Educators’ AllianceRelated Subjects: Asthma. | Therapy. | Handbooks Contents: Acute asthma Asthma and allergy Asthma Action Plan Asthma: basic facts Asthma in the elderly Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma Complementary and alternative medicine in asthma Diagnosis and classification of asthma in adults Diagnosis and classification of asthma in children Diet and asthma Drugs and devices Exercise-induced asthma First Aid for Asthma Glossary of Asthma Terms Levels of evidence and key messages Managing exacerbations Note to the Sixth Edition Occupational asthma Ongoing care Other comorbidities Pregnancy and asthma Prevention of asthma Principles of drug therapy Respiratory function tables Self-management education checklist Smoking and asthma The role of PEF monitoring in detecting exacerbations Please select one mirror to download
