Abstract
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease which presents with a risk of exacerbations. Good patient management and continuous monitoring are crucial for good disease control, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are essential for proper treatment. Nurses specialised in asthma can contribute to the correct management of asthmatic patients. They play a key role in diagnostic tests, administration of medication, and patient follow-up and education. This consensus arose from the need to address an aspect of asthma management that does not appear in the specific recommendations of current guidelines. This document highlights and updates the role of specialized nurses in the care and management of asthma patients, offering conclusions and practical recommendations with the aim of improving their contribution to the treatment of this disease. Proposed recommendations appear as the result of a nominal consensus which was developed during 2019, and validated at the beginning of 2020.
