emergency asthma plan

An emergency asthma plan is a personalized guide to managing severe asthma symptoms quickly and safely. It outlines the signs of worsening asthma, such as difficulty breathing or wheezing, and provides clear instructions on when to use quick-relief inhalers or seek immediate medical help. The plan often includes steps to stay calm, use medications properly, and contact emergency services if symptoms worsen or don’t improve. Having this plan helps individuals and caregivers respond effectively during an asthma emergency, reducing the risk of serious complications and ensuring timely medical attention.
