Analyze the Management of the Pharmacotherapy and the Results of the Treatment for Asthmatic Patients at St. Peter's Specialized Hospital

Abstract

Background: Asthma is a complex illness that is typically characterized by reversible bronchial constriction, persistent airway inflammation, and heightened sensitivity to both direct and indirect stimuli. This study's objective is to assess how well asthma medications and treatments work.

Objective: to evaluate asthmatic patients' medication management and treatment outcomes at St. Peter's specialized hospital.

Method: medical center an outpatient follow-up study based on a cross-sectional study was conducted at St. Peter's Hospital from March 30 through July 2022. A method of systematic random sampling will be used to choose the study participants. We anticipate recruiting 384 additional volunteers throughout the trial.

Result: The majority (63.5%) of the 384 total subjects was men, and the remaining patients with asthma were women (36.5%). The respondents' mean age was 35.1 years, with a standard deviation (SD) of 9.4, and the majorities (36.2%) of them were aged 45 to 64. This finding suggested that many of the patients were elderly. There was a 50.4% uncontrolled asthma rate, and there was a lot of variation between the studies. Nearly 22.6% of asthmatics got their symptoms under control. Additionally, asthma was only partially managed in 27.0% of patients. Ineffective inhalation techniques, frequent SABA usage, moderate-to-severe persistent asthma, a history of exacerbations, the presence of concomitant conditions, the use of oral corticosteroids, and irregular follow-up were the most common predictors of uncontrolled asthma.

Conclusion: According to this study, patients using Salbutamol puffs alone had uncontrolled asthma status when compared to those using Salbutamol puffs along with another controller medication. This shows that individuals with uncontrolled asthma, especially those with known risk factors, need to receive the attention they deserve. To slow the progression of the condition and improve asthma control, healthcare professionals should try to educate patients on proper medication usage and the avoidance of asthma triggers.
