[Reducing asthma treatment: is it as simple as it seems?].
نویسنده
چکیده
El objetivo máximo en el tratamiento del asma es alcanzar el control total de la enfermedad con el menor riesgo de efectos adversos. Las diferentes guías y consensos nacionales e internacionales, comparten un mismo mensaje en relación al tratamiento: controlar el asma con la menor dosis posible y eficaz de fármacos, referido generalmente al uso de corticoides inhalados (CI).1-4 Las distintas estrategias de progresión del tratamiento del asma en pacientes con enfermedad no controlada han sido exhaustivamente evaluadas en los últimos años, con cuantiosa información publicada. Por el contrario, el modo de disminuir el tratamiento no está aún claramente definido o validado en pediatría, con menos información disponible, eventualmente contradictoria y, en su mayoría, basada en la opinión de expertos. Habitualmente se recomienda que el descenso de los CI deba iniciarse una vez controlada la enfermedad. Sin embargo, no siempre se explicita cómo. Surgen entonces numerosos interrogantes (asumiendo que el descenso de CI es posible sin perder el adecuado control del asma): en quiénes se inicia y cuándo es seguro, cómo debe efectuarse y qué debe monitorearse, cuál es la magnitud de cada descenso y, finalmente, en la era de los tratamientos combinados (por ejemplo CI asociados a broncodilatadores de acción prolongada), cuál es el fármaco que debe reducirse primero.
