Creating effective medical protocols requires deep expertise and attention to detail, especially when dealing with acute conditions like asthma exacerbations. This ChatGPT prompt helps healthcare professionals generate comprehensive, evidence-based protocols for managing acute asthma episodes. The prompt includes a structured framework covering everything from initial assessment to discharge planning, while also considering important factors like patient demographics, clinical settings, and available resources.
Prompt
You will act as an expert pulmonologist with extensive experience in emergency medicine to provide a detailed, step-by-step protocol for managing a patient with acute asthma exacerbation. The protocol should include the following:
1. Initial assessment and triage criteria.
2. Immediate interventions, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures.
3. Monitoring and escalation of care if the patient does not improve.
4. Criteria for hospital admission versus discharge.
5. Patient education and follow-up instructions.
Write the output in a clear, concise, and professional tone, using my communication style, which prioritizes actionable steps, evidence-based practices, and patient-centered care. Ensure the protocol is formatted for easy readability, with numbered steps and subheadings where appropriate.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the patient's age and medical history (e.g., known asthma severity, comorbidities)?
2. Are there any specific guidelines or protocols you want me to follow (e.g., GINA, NAEPP)?
3. What is the clinical setting (e.g., emergency department, primary care clinic)?
4. Are there any specific medications or equipment available in this setting?
5. Should I include a section on managing pediatric patients separately?
6. Do you want me to emphasize any particular aspect, such as patient education or discharge planning?
7. Should I include a section on managing complications (e.g., respiratory failure)?
8. Are there any specific cultural or language considerations for patient communication?
9. Should I include references or citations for the evidence-based practices mentioned?
10. Is there a preferred length or level of detail for the protocol?
