NURSING CARE FOR BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AT THE INPATIENT STAGE

Abstract

Bronchial asthma is one of the most common human diseases affecting people of all ages. Currently, the number of patients with asthma worldwide has reached 300 million people. In most regions, the incidence continues to grow and by 2025 will increase by 100-150 million. In each of the 250 deaths in the world, asthma is to blame, and most of which could be prevented. An analysis of the causes of death from asthma indicates insufficient basic anti-inflammatory therapy in most patients and untimely emergency care in case of exacerbation. Nevertheless, certain successes have been achieved in the treatment of asthma: new methods of immunotherapy for allergic asthma have begun to be used, existing methods of pharmacotherapy have been reassessed, and new methods of treating severe asthma are being introduced. The Aim of the Study: To determine the features of nursing care for bronchial asthma in a hospital. Research objectives: 1. Conduct an analysis of scientific and theoretical sources on morbidity statistics. 2. Determine the role of a nurse in organizing care for patients with bronchial asthma in a hospital setting. 3. To study the basic methods of nursing care for bronchial asthma. Object of study: patients with bronchial asthma. Subject of research: nursing care for bronchial asthma. Research methods: • scientific and theoretical; • analytical; • analysis of statistical data; • comparison. Conclusion: Bronchial asthma is a disease that, unfortunately, is incurable today. All that medicine can do is to reduce the number of attacks in the patient and, as far as possible, improve his condition and quality of life. The analysis of the studied literature indicates that bronchial asthma occupies a leading place in the pathology of the respiratory system. The relevance was confirmed and the need for complex measures in patients with BA diseases was substantiated. Currently, the only proven environmentally modifiable factor that can be strongly recommended for the primary prevention of asthma is limiting exposure to tobacco smoke.
