The <\/span>asthma preventer treatments in adolescents 12 years+ CPG<\/span><\/a> is a new CPG developed by the CPG Committee and endorsed by the Paediatric Improvement Collaborative (Sept 2022). Key areas the CPG comprehensively covers are: initiating therapy using an anti-inflammatory reliever-based regimen (or traditional SABA and inhaled ICS); stepping up or down therapy; and an approach for asthma not responding to treatment. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CPG key points:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0<\/span>Any adolescent with asthma should be on a treatment regimen that includes an ICS. Prescribing SABA treatment (ie salbutamol) alone is no longer recommended<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. For most adolescents with asthma, treatment can be started with as-needed (reliever) combination of an ICS and a LABA<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Adolescents well controlled on traditional treatment with SABA and inhaled ICS, should not be changed without consulting the adolescent\u2019s care team or a senior clinician<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Treatment can be stepped up and down according to response. Never cease an adolescent\u2019s ICS completely<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Always check inhaler technique, compliance and contributing factors before dose adjustment<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are also two new asthma CPGs in development: pre-school wheeze and asthma for 5\u201312 years, as well as an update of the current acute asthma CPG. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
