Asthma Program
The Asthma Program was developed by a team of physicians and specialists at Loyola University Health System who follow the recommendations of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The goal of the program is to teach patients how to control their asthma with the latest monitoring and treatment techniques so that they can live without restrictions.
Asthma control is achieved through:
- Evaluation by an asthma specialist
- Diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis of asthma and quantify its severity
- Development of a medical action plan to allow the patient to respond to changes in their own disease
- Education about asthma medications by a respiratory therapist dedicated to the treatment of patients with asthma
- Careful consideration of environmental triggers, allergens, diet, exercise and behavioral techniques that may improve asthma control and limit the need for medications.
