This video (part 1 of 2) is designed to simplify the latest evidence-based asthma management strategies in adults and help learners understand the rationale behind current clinical practice. We have covered Initial Diagnosis, Phenotype of Asthma, Lung Function Tests(Bronchodilator Responsiveness criteria GINA vs ATS, Bronchial Provocation Test), Type 2 Biomarkers, Comorbidities, Management(including GINA Steps and Tracks, Asthma Action Plan,, Pharmacological, Non-pharmacological management, Immunotherapy, Bronchial Thermoplasty), Inhaler Technique, Asthma in Pregnancy, Follow-up, Assessment (including retrospective assessment of Severity of Asthma), Adjustment, Review, Step-Down of therapy, Remission of Asthma -- in adults with Asthma, in the video. ✅ Ideal for: • MBBS Students • Medical Interns • MD Medicine Residents • MD / DNB Respiratory Medicine (Chest Medicine) Residents • Practicing Physicians • Pulmonologists • Critical Care Trainees • NEET PG Aspirants • INI-CET Aspirants • NEET SS Aspirants • INI-SS Aspirants • USMLE Aspirants • Board Examination Preparation Chapters 0:00 Intro to GINA 2026 in Adults 0:10 Roadmap and Definition of Asthma as per GINA 2026 6:26 Initial Diagnosis of Asthma 6:58 History and Symptoms of Asthma 8:38 Algorithm of Initial Diagnosis of Asthma 10:32 Lung Function Test (Variable Expiratory Airflow) in Asthma 10:44 Bronchodilator Responsiveness in Asthma (GINA vs ATS) 12:19 Bronchial Provocation Test in Asthma 14:01 Type 2 Inflammation Biomarkers of Asthma 15:15 Asthma Phenotypes 18:53 Multimorbidity 19:44 Pharmacological Management of Asthma 19:56 GINA 2026 Tracks and Steps for Adults 25:38 Low, Medium, and High Dose Inhalational Corticosteroids (ICS) 26:00 Initial Asthma Treatment as per Clinical Profile 28:42 Asthma Exacerbation Risk Factors 31:33 Non-Pharmacological Management of Asthma 33:31 Vaccines recommended in Asthma patients by GINA 2026 34:20 Inhaler Technique by DPI, MDI(Single Breath vs Multiple Tidal Breaths), Rationale of Shaking Inhaler before each actuation 38:36 Asthma Action Plan 40:51 Other Management Modalities in Asthma 40:56 Immunotherapy 44:00 Bronchial Thermoplasty and Vitamin D in Asthma 47:09 Management of Comorbidities in Asthma 49:36 Asthma-COPD Overlap 50:12 Asthma in Pregnancy 52:31 Medications safe in Asthma during Pregnancy 54:16 Goals of Asthma Management 56:12 Follow-up, Assessment, Adjustment, Review, Step-Down 58:27 Severity of Asthma (assessed retrospectively) 1:03:40 Remission of Asthma 1:06:28 Summary 🎯 High-yield for: ✔ NEET PG ✔ INI-CET ✔ NEET SS ✔ INI-SS ✔ MD Medicine Theory & Practical Exams ✔ DNB Medicine Exams ✔ Respiratory Medicine / Pulmonology Exams ✔ Clinical Practice Updates This is Part 1 of 2 from my GINA 2026 series.
