Asthma and COPD Expertise
Do you want to gain in-depth knowledge about managing asthma and COPD from experts? Rama Care has the latest treatment options, lifestyle modifications, and strategies to enhance breathing and quality of life.
Understanding Asthma and COPD
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are both chronic respiratory disorders that significantly impact the respiratory system, but they differ in their etiology, pathology, and management.
Asthma is a condition characterized by an overreaction of the airways to various triggers such as allergens, resulting in temporary narrowing of the airways.
COPD, on the other hand, is primarily caused by long-term exposure to harmful irritants, most notably cigarette smoke, leading to permanent damage and a progressive decline in lung function.
Understanding these differences is crucial for effective treatment and management. Asthma's reversible airway obstruction can often be controlled with the right medications.
On the other hand, COPD's irreversible aspect requires more comprehensive management strategies to slow progression and alleviate symptoms.

Our Diagnostic Tools and Techniques
- Spirometry: This is the most essential diagnostic test that measures the volume of air an individual can exhale in one second and the total volume of air exhaled after taking the deepest breath possible. Spirometry helps in assessing the degree of obstruction or restriction in the airways.
- Peak Flow Monitoring: Particularly useful in diagnosing asthma, this tool measures how fast a patient can exhale, helping to monitor breathing patterns over time and detect signs of an impending attack.
- Chest X-rays and CT Scans: These imaging tests are more commonly used in COPD to look for signs of chronic bronchitis or emphysema, such as flattened diaphragms or enlarged air spaces.
- Blood Tests: We also utilize blood tests to check for signs of infection or inflammation, which can exacerbate symptoms.

Our Current Treatments for Asthma and COPD
At Rama Care, our treatment plans for Asthma and COPD are tailored to each patient’s specific needs, based on the severity and frequency of symptoms:
Asthma Treatments
We primarily prescribe inhaled corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, along with long-acting bronchodilators to help keep airways open. For those with allergy-triggered asthma, immunotherapy may also be offered.
COPD Treatments
Our approach includes the use of bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, and antibiotics if infections are present. For advanced COPD, therapies like oxygen supplementation and even surgical options such as lung volume reduction surgery are available.
How Do We Manage Flare-Ups and Emergency Situations
Action Plans
Each patient is equipped with an individualized action plan, detailing how to use medications, including quick-relief inhalers, and when to seek medical help.
Regular Monitoring
We encourage regular follow-ups to monitor the effectiveness of treatment plans and adjust medications when necessary.
Education on Trigger Avoidance
Patients are educated on how to avoid known triggers that can lead to flare-ups, which is especially crucial for asthma management.
Emergency Care
Rama Care provides 24/7 emergency support for our patients. During an acute flare-up, treatments may include the administration of oxygen, the use of fast-acting bronchodilators.
Asthma symptoms are often intermittent and triggered by allergens, improving with medication. COPD symptoms are persistent, worsen over time, and are chiefly caused by long-term exposure to irritants like tobacco smoke.
Effective management of both conditions involves lifestyle changes. Avoiding smoking, managing allergens, regular exercise, and proper diet can significantly mitigate symptoms and improve lung function.
During an attack, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek immediate medical attention to prevent severe complications.
