Global Asthma Diagnosis and Management Guidelines

The Global Asthma Diagnosis and Management Guidelines provide healthcare professionals with standardized methods to identify and treat asthma effectively. Diagnosis involves reviewing symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing, often confirmed with lung function tests to measure breathing capacity. Management focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing attacks through personalized treatment plans, mainly using inhaled medicines such as corticosteroids and bronchodilators. The guidelines emphasize regular monitoring, education about avoiding triggers, and adjusting treatment as needed to improve quality of life and reduce risks. Overall, they aim to offer consistent, evidence-based care for individuals with asthma worldwide.
