Abstract
Management of asthma patients is little known in departmental, partly in military medicine. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of a management programme for asthmatic militaries. We assessed asthma attack rate (day and nighttime), need in bronchodilators, peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume for 1 s as per cent of predictive values, number of acute exacerbations and admissions to a hospital per a year and their length, days lost from work, calls for emergency aid before and 1 year after implementation of the programme. We found significant reductions in frequency of nighttime asthma attacks, need in bronchodilators, number of calls for emergency aid, rates of acute exacerbations and hospitalizations, their length, improvement in lung function. Therefore, we concluded that the management programme for asthmatic militaries is effective.
