INTRODUCTIONMedical services are the basic need for all the people now a days in order to remainhealthy and safe. There are several medical care centres who provide such services to the peoplewho are in need. This report is based on the critical analysis of the asthma patient. It will help inunderstanding the concept of crisis resource management (CRM), which is known as non-technical skills which are required for the appropriate teamwork in a situation of crisis (Tarlo &Lemiere, 2014). This report will help in providing the ways so as to care for unwell patient,critical analysis of medical and nursing care which are given to the patients will be done in thisreport. Influence and impact of various care models that prevent and promote patient inemergency cases and different crisis resource management principles will also be determined inorder to work efficiently in the dynamic and complex environment. TASK 35 year old asthma patient Joan Bloggs (Female) was given appropriate care in anemergency department. She had a severe asthma attack and was not at all well. She sufferedshortness of breath, diaphoretic, chest tightness and was communicating in short sentences. Shehad some of the following symptoms like; her respiratory rate was 28, pale and warm, spo2 was88%, GCS -15, diaphoretic, chest tightness. Her asthma was diagnosed at the age of 25. She wasgiven appropriate treatment with the help of site coordinator and nurse educator. Asthma is one of the most common type of respiratory disorder. Despite of variousimprovements in the management and diagnosis of this particular disorder , asthma is still poorlycontrolled. In several patients, it can be controlled by avoiding various measures and usingnecessary pharmacological interventions. In this report an asthma patient is chosen so that it willbe helpful to make desired analysis in regards with this disease. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs)helps in representing the care standard for the large number of asthma patients (Thompson andet.al., 2013). Continuous monitoring for the control of asthma, inhaler technique and adherenceto its therapy are some of the necessary components for the management of the asthma. Thisassignment will help in providing appropriate management and diagnosis of asthma. Asthma is affecting around more than 20% population in UK. Although asthma is thetype of disorder which is in relation with the lungs but some of the current evidence indicatesthat it also represent a part of systematic airway disease which makes involvement of whole
respiratory tract and it gets support from the fact that asthma occurs frequently with atopicdisorders, specially allergies (Tourangeau and et.al., 2016).Despite various improvements in the management and diagnosis of asthma in the pastperiods, as well as with the availability of widely accepted and comprehensive international andnational clinical practices information for the disease, control of asthma is still suboptimal.Recent study suggests that there are large number of people whose asthma is still uncontrollable.Poor control of asthma gives contribution to lesser daily activities, unnecessary morbidity, poorquality of life. Asthma is a very common lung condition which cause breathing difficulties occasionally.It is there in the people of all age and generally starts in young age or childhood. Currently thereis no particular cure for asthma but there are various easy treatments which will be helpful tokeep it in controllable manner so that there will no significant effect on patient's life. It is a longterm disease for most of the people specially when it develops at the time of adulthood. Inchildren, sometimes it get improve and disappears at the time of teenage but it may also returnlater (Ward and et.al., 2013). Symptoms of asthma can be controlled with appropriate treatmentsand then most people can have active and normal lives, although there are many people who arehaving severe asthma can have many problems. Asthma can be controlled normally, but it is stilla serious disease which can cause different complications. That is why it is very necessary tofollow treatment plan without ignoring any symptoms. If it is not getting controlled then it canserve different issues like tiredness, absence or underperformance, ling infections, psychologicalproblems, delay in children's growth, anxiety, stress, disruption in work etc. Life threateningrisks are also there if severe asthma is there as per the case of Joan Bloggs. Present condition of Joan Bloggs is serious as she had severe asthma attack, which wasdiagnosed 2 days before by GP with the infection in upper respiratory tract. She was taking 12puffs of inhaler in every 30 minutes and was having serious problem in breathing. She was nothaving any allergy externally or internally. When her asthma was diagnosed earlier, she got ICUhospitalization and intubation. Intubation is defined as the placement of the flexible tube whichis made of plastic into the windpipe in order to maintain open airway. Various analysis havebeen made for the present condition of the patient with the help of primary and secondarysurvey, radiology and pathology results, social and psychological data (Asthma. 2016).
