1. Related factors Airway allergy, bronchial spasm, mucus excessive, bronchial secretions, retention of secretions, lung disease, respiratory infectious process, etc.

2. treatment to control symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. Treatment generally depends on age, severity of asthma, and response to a given treatment option. Most people take long-term treatment with daily controllers, along with another inhaler for short-term relief, when they have symptoms or to prevent them. An inhaler allows the medicine to enter your mouth and airways

3. The diagnosis of asthma is made from the observation of the symptoms that indicate that there is an obstruction in the airways. The doctor may hear wheezing and other sounds that occur as a result of narrowing of the airways

3.1. interventions Assess the patient's ability to cough effectively. - Observe if restlessness, anxiety, or shortness of breath increases. - Note the appearance, characteristics, and duration of the cough. - Monitor the characteristics of the patient's bronchial secretions. - Install respiratory therapy treatments such as nebulizers. - Teach him to oxygenate by doing breathing exercises by blowing with straws, inflating balloons, etc Auscultate breath sounds, observing areas of decreased or absence of ventilation

4. Causes- Asthma The exact cause of asthma is unknown, and causes can vary from person to person. However, asthma is often the result of a strong immune system response to a substance in the lungs. Sometimes a person's immune system responds to a substance in the environment called an allergen. When someone inhales an allergen, such as ragweed, the immune system in the respiratory tract can react strongly. Other people exposed to the same substance may not react at all. The immune system reacts to an allergen by causing inflammation. The inflammation causes your airways to swell and narrow, possibly making more mucus. This can make it harder to breathe. The muscles around the airways can also tighten, which is called bronchospasm. This can make breathing even more difficult.

5. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) condition that affects the airways in the lungs. The airways are tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. If you have asthma, sometimes your airways can become inflamed and narrow. Asthma affects people of all ages and often begins during childhood. You may have wheezing (hissing sound when you breathe), cough, or feel tightness in your chest. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can appear every day or only once in a while. Certain things can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms, like cold air. These things are called asthma triggers. When symptoms get worse, it is called an asthma attack
