What are they and how do they work?

I HAVE NO DISCLOSURES.

What is an AAP?

What is an AAP?

Written Plan or Instructions for the patient and/or caregiver Gives instruction on what medications to take when they have acute symptoms Symptoms drive responses

What are AAPs intended to do?

Guide patient/caregiver in assessment and treatment of acute asthma symptoms

Importance of AAPs Following instructions on the plan can help treatment of an attack at home and help to avoid the need for the hospital emergency room or doctor’s office Following instructions can relieve and/or control acute symptoms and their progression Treatments are made to “short circuit” the symptoms Caregiver must be aggressive and treat symptoms early

Organized into Three Zones

Green Zone – good no symptoms. Patient generally doing well Yellow Zone-­‐ caution symptoms/distress worsening in spite of initial treatment Red Zone-­‐ danger symptoms have progressed further to a medical emergency

Example of an AAP

What Symptoms “drive” the responses?

Most important assessments are the presence of symptoms-­‐wheeze, cough, shortness of breath, respiratory rate, inability to speak, and decreases in peak expiratory flow rate Caregiver/patient must be able to assess the dynamics of the attack and recognize how the patient is doing compared to their baseline status Must also assess deterioration Symptoms are usually new but have happened before, and usually last > 10-­‐15 minutes

Peak Flow Meter

Many physicians choose symptom based AAP versus Peak Flow Based Poor perceivers benefit from peak flow Obtain personal best by performing over two weeks Green Zone > 80% of the patient’s “normal” Yellow Zone 50-­‐80% of baseline Red Zone <50% of baseline

Keep Points to an AAP

Must be available Readable Understandable Accurate as to when treatment increases with symptom increases Helpful as to the contact for care when the patient worsens (24/7)

What treatments are given?

Rescue Inhaler medications –albuterol, pro air, Ventolin, Xopenex Given by inhaler or treatment Nebulizers (if available) can provide a higher dose of drug per treatment (1 vial is similar to 10 puffs from an MDI) Green Zone-­‐ 2 puffs every 4 hours Yellow Zone-­‐ 4-­‐6 puffs every 4-­‐6 hours Red Zone-­‐6-­‐10 puffs every 20 minutes If they don’t rapidly improve from the yellow zone, or if they even get to the red zone, the caregiver/patient should call the provider listed on the AAP If they do not get called back right away, they should call an ambulance 2 puffs every 4 hours is NOT the correct treatment for all zones in an acute flare of asthma

When are AAPs used?

Should be accessible wherever the patient is located They are an important part of asthma education and should be revised with every medication change Should be reviewed with every visit Extremely helpful to provide pictures of the asthma medication devices, specific to that patient.

Who should have them?

Parents (both parents) Family members who are caregivers Coaches Teachers Daycare All caregivers should have a rescue medicine and inhaler with the AAP

How many patients have AAPs?

30% Children 40% Adults
