Zusammenfassung

Asthma bronchiale ist eine der häufigsten chronischen Erkrankungen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit einer Prävalenz von rund 10 % in den deutschsprachigen Ländern. Typische Symptome sind pfeifende Atemgeräusche, Enge im Brustkorb und Atemnot. Die Diagnose wird klinisch gestellt; der wichtigste objektive Parameter ist der Nachweis der reversiblen Atemwegsobstruktion. Verschiedene Leitlinien stehen national und international für die Therapie zur Verfügung. Neben der medikamentösen Therapie ist das nichtmedikamentöse Management mit Allergenkarenz, Compliance-Überprüfung, Vermittlung der richtigen Inhalationstechnik und umfassender strukturierter Patientenschulung von großer Bedeutung.

Abstract

Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood with a prevalence of approximately 10 % in German-speaking countries. Typical symptoms are wheezing, narrowing of the chest and dyspnea. The diagnosis is made based on clinical symptoms and the most important objective parameter is proof of airway obstruction. National and international guidelines provide a standardized treatment. The main pillars of management are anti-inflammatory drugs, beta- 2- agonists, compliance testing, instruction on the correct inhalation technique, comprehensively structured patient educational programs and in selected cases allergen immunotherapy.
