Abstract

Asthma units in Spain are multidisciplinary hospital-based clinics led by pulmonologists and/or allergists. They are designed to optimize diagnosis, identify and manage comorbidities, and improve asthma control and patients’ quality of life, particularly for those with severe asthma. These units have proven to be clinically effective and economically efficient, representing an innovative model for asthma management.
Accreditation by the Spanish societies of pulmonology and allergology (SEPAR and SEAIC) ensures excellence by establishing quality standards and promoting continuous staff training. However, disparities in resources and availability appear to exist between autonomous communities.
While this model has been successful, it has not yet been widely implemented globally, and its adoption could enhance the management of severe asthma in other countries.
西班牙重症哮喘病房:加强重症哮喘患者护理和研究
西班牙的哮喘科是由肺科医生和/或过敏症专家领导的多学科医院诊所。它们旨在优化诊断,识别和管理合并症,并改善哮喘控制和患者的生活质量,特别是对那些患有严重哮喘的患者。这些单位已被证明具有临床效果和经济效益,代表了哮喘管理的创新模式。西班牙肺病学和过敏症学会(SEPAR和SEAIC)的认证通过建立质量标准和促进持续的员工培训来确保卓越。然而,各自治区之间在资源和可得性方面似乎存在差异。虽然这种模式取得了成功,但尚未在全球广泛实施,采用这种模式可以加强其他国家对严重哮喘的管理。
