Ortiz GR - Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program guidelines provide recommendations for asthma management based on the components of assessment and monitoring of asthma severity and control, patient education, control of environmental factors and comorbid conditions affecting asthma, and pharmacologic therapy. The 2002 version of these guidelines was recently updated. The purpose of this review is to describe the major changes and to provide a concise summary of the key asthma diagnosis and management recommendations contained within this newly updated version.
