Epidemics of sudden death in patients with asthma are more likely to result from inadequate realization of severity and insufficient or inappropriate drug therapy than from toxic drug reactions. The authors review management in children and adults involving step-by-step addition of different classes of drugs according to the severity and persistence of the asthma.
哮喘患者猝死的流行更可能是由于对严重程度认识不足以及药物治疗不足或不当,而非药物毒性反应所致。作者回顾了儿童和成人的管理方法,即根据哮喘的严重程度和持续性逐步添加不同类别的药物。
