El asma produce episodios recurrentes de tos, sibilancias, opresión torácica y dificultad respiratoria. Los ataques de asma pueden poner en peligro la vida, pero pueden prevenirse. Los ataques (o exacerbaciones) de asma son episódicos, pero la inflamación de las vías respiratorias está presente en forma crónica. Los factores asociados con el riesgo de asma pueden dividirse en los que causan el desarrollo del asma (llamados factores del huésped, primordialmente genéticos) y aquellos que desencadenan los síntomas (usualmente factores ambientales). Hay que tomar en cuenta que los mecanismos a través de los cuales estos factores afectan el desarrollo y manifestación del asma son complejos e interactúan entre sí. La consideración de los factores ambientales resulta particularmente significativa en el manejo del asma, debido a que constituyen los factores sobre los cuales el paciente ejerce mayor control. Si se cuenta con la adecuada información y la capacitación en estrategias para evitar la exposición a ciertos factores desencadenantes y manejar adecuadamente la práctica de actividad física y los procesos emocionales, existirán mayores probabilidades de lograr un control eficaz del asma. Estos aspectos se retomarán más adelante.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The present investigation has as objective to base the main conceptualizations related with the bronchial asthma. The asthma produces recurrent episodes of cough, sibilance&#8217;s, thoracic oppression and breathing difficulty. The asthma attacks can put in danger the life, but they can be prevented. The attacks (or exacerbations) of asthma they are episodic, but the inflammation of the breathing roads is present in chronicle form. The factors associated with the asthma risk can be divided in those that cause the development of the asthma (the guest's called factors, primarily genetic) and those that unchain the symptoms (usually environmental factors). It is necessary to take in to account that the mechanisms through which these factors affect the development and manifestation of the asthma are complex and interaction to each other. The consideration of the environmental factors is particularly significant in the handling of the asthma, because they constitute the factors on which the patient exercises more control. If it is had the appropriate information and the training in strategies to avoid the exhibition to certain factors and to manage the practice of physical activity and the emotional processes appropriately, more probabilities will exist of achieving an effective control of the asthma. These aspects will be recaptured later on.]]></p></abstract>
