Asthma Care

To better meet the needs of our patients with asthma, and to better manage each individual's asthma, Wayzata Children's Clinic has developed an Asthma Service Line. Our service line is based on the most current research about asthma and the most current national asthma guidelines to promote the optimal health of our patients. Our Asthma management will help to maximize each patient's potential lung functioning and minimize exacerbations and the need for rescue medications. 

Our patients with asthma will receive:

• comprehensive asthma assessment at least two times per year to ensure each patient is on the proper medications to promote optimal lung function
• written individualized Asthma Action Plan for families to have at home and at school, including emergency medical plan
• yearly lung function testing (starting at age 5 if patient is able)
• allergy testing (if appropriate)
• individualized education and training about asthma and proper use of medications and medication devices
• yearly influenza vaccine
• management of asthma exacerbations
• appropriate follow up of exacerbations and ER or urgent care visits

If you have an Asthma Consult appointment scheduled, please bring the following with you to your appointment:

• all asthma medications
• Completed ACT – Asthma Control Test
