Asthma inhaler use C018 / 1184
MODEL RELEASED. Asthma inhaler use. Woman using an inhaler to treat an asthma attack. During an asthma attack, the small airways (bronchioles) in the lungs constrict, making it difficult to breathe. This causes wheezing, coughing and breathlessness. The inhaler is an aerosol pump, which releases bronchodilator drugs that widen the airways. Asthma attacks can be brought on by exercise, allergic reactions and cold weather. Asthma usually develops during childhood, and generally improves as the patient matures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the life of an asthma sufferer. In the image, we see a woman using her inhaler to combat an intense asthma attack. The constriction of her bronchioles during this episode makes it incredibly challenging for her to breathe, resulting in wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness. The inhaler she holds is a vital tool that releases bronchodilator drugs into her airways. These medications work by widening the constricted passages, providing much-needed relief from the distressing symptoms of asthma attacks. It's worth noting that these attacks can be triggered by various factors such as exercise, allergies, or even cold weather. Asthma typically manifests during childhood but tends to improve as patients mature. However, it remains crucial for individuals like this brave woman to have their inhalers on hand at all times for prompt treatment when needed. This powerful image showcases not only the physical struggle faced by those with asthma but also highlights the importance of medical advancements in managing respiratory conditions effectively. With its white background emphasizing focus on the subject and expertly captured details showcasing every aspect of this essential device and its use, Mark Sykes from Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a thought-provoking visual narrative about human health and resilience.
