What is the goal of care for asthma patient?

The goal of care for an asthma patient is to achieve and maintain good asthma control.

This means that the patient should be able to:

- Be free of asthma symptoms most of the time

- Have normal or near-normal lung function

- Be able to participate in all activities without limitation

- Have minimal or no need for rescue medication

- Have no or minimal exacerbations requiring oral steroids or hospitalization

- Have a good quality of life

To achieve these goals, the patient may need to take regular medication, including inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting beta-agonists, and leukotriene modifiers. They may also need to make some lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers, exercising regularly, and eating a healthy diet.
