Management Plan:
Asthma is common and non-communicable and affects approximately 235 million people worldwide (Papi et al., 2020). It is characterized by episodic or persistent respiratory symptoms including wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath due to airflow limitation (Papi et al., 2020).
Diagnostic Tests: Asthma has no gold standard for diagnosing and can be challenging to diagnose (Saglani & Menzie-Gow, 2019). PFT tests for larger airway function include assessing FEV1 and forced vital capacity, but asthma often includes smaller airway dysfunction, specifically the outer airway walls of these smaller airways which are more difficult to test (Saglani & Menzie-Gow, 2019).
This being said spirometry is preferred diagnostic to determine a diagnosis of asthma (Global Initiative of Asthma, 2020).
