A 10-year-old child with asthma has been on Fluticasone metered-dose inhaler for six months with no improvement seen in the pulmonary function tests.
Which of the following strategies would help the child have better control over the symptoms?
Correct : D
Asthma Management:
When a patient does not respond to a single controller medication like Fluticasone (a corticosteroid), a step-up in therapy is often required.
Treatment Strategies:
Chest Physiotherapy and Increased Oral Fluid: Helpful but not primary interventions for improving pulmonary function in asthma.
Intravenous Hydrocortisone: Typically for acute severe exacerbations, not chronic management.
Adding Salmeterol (Long-acting Beta Agonist): Combined with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), it can improve asthma control by reducing symptoms and preventing exacerbations.

Which of the following tests is conducted to detect the hypokinetic and a kinetic wall motion of the heart and check the ejection fraction?
Correct : C
An echocardiogram is a diagnostic test used to detect hypokinetic (reduced movement) and akinetic (no movement) wall motion of the heart and to assess the ejection fraction, which measures the percentage of blood leaving the heart each time it contracts. This test uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart's structure and function. An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart, angiography visualizes blood vessels, and a stress test evaluates the heart's response to physical exertion.
