Asthma first aid

Knowing Asthma First Aid can save a life. A sudden or severe flare-up is also called an asthma attack. An asthma attack can happen to anyone with asthma at any time. Do not wait until asthma symptoms are severe before starting asthma first aid.

Asthma Australia also has an Asthma Education Flipchart which is a patient education tool covering asthma management, medications, devices, action plans and first aid. It is available digitally in English, with printed hard copies available to order in English, Arabic, Chinese and Vietnamese here.
