Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: The aim of this review is to identify barriers and provide solutions to the implementation of inhaled corticosteroid-formoterol as rescue therapy within schools. RECENT FINDINGS: GINA guidelines in 2019 and NAEPP in 2020 recommended inhaled corticosteroids combined with formoterol for a rescue inhaler over the traditional short-acting beta-agonist. The findings discussed in this article describe the barriers to the implementation of inhaled corticosteroids combined with formoterol for a rescue inhaler in school systems. Traditional asthma action plans, school nursing and parental education, and differences in dosing are some barriers identified. This paper provides solutions for the barriers, including updating and individualizing asthma action plans and providing thorough education to all parties on appropriate dosing for ICS-formoterol inhalers.
