Abstract: Children younger than 5 are hospitalized more and seen in the emergency room three times as often as children 5 to 15 years-old. Not only are their airways are smaller and blocked more easily, but they also cannot use a peak flow meter and their parents don't know how to track the course of an asthma episode. These last two problems can be overcome if parents use a diary based on four common signs of asthma. Thomas F. Plaut, MD, will describe an asthma diary for children younger than 5 years and discuss an action plan that parents can use to guide treatment at home.
Speaker: Thomas F. Plaut, MD, a nationally known asthma specialist and author who has treated thousands of children with asthma. His books have helped many parents learn how to treat asthma at home and keep their children out of the emergency room and the hospital.
