Learning objectives

  • Understand how lung function could help us to identify patients at risk of fixed airway obstruction
  • Understand the vicious cycle between low lung function, uncontrolled symptoms, and increased risk of exacerbations in asthma patients

Description

The video clip highlights that by regularly monitoring lung function, clinicians can identify patients at risk of fixed airway obstruction. It mentions that even asymptomatic low lung function increases the risk of exacerbations, leading to a cycle of uncontrolled symptoms and frequent exacerbations in both children and adults.
