Activity Description

Bronchial asthma (BA) is considered the most common chronic disease in pregnancy, complicating 4% to 8% of pregnancies.

The percentage of women hospitalized for asthma exacerbation during pregnancy was 5.8% in a previous study. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of bronchial asthma and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and improving care for patients with this condition.
