WEBINAIRE : Les crises d’asthme peuvent se produire rapidement et de manière inattendue; c’est la raison pour laquelle comprendre maintenant comment reconnaître les signes précurseurs et y répondre rapidement est si important.

Asthme Canada sera accompagné de la Dre Andréanne Côté, qui parlera de la gestion de l’asthme et de la prévention des crises d’asthme. Nous accueillerons également la patiente partenaire d’Asthme Canada, Rachel Anne Normand, d’Ottawa, qui partagera son histoire sur la façon dont une crise d’asthme a mené au diagnostic de son fils, Jacob.

Ensemble, nous couvrirons :
💙 Ce qu’est l’asthme et pourquoi il est important de bien le contrôler
💙 Pourquoi un plan d’action contre l’asthme est essentiel pour une prise en charge sécuritaire
💙 Comment reconnaître une aggravation de l’asthme et quoi faire en cas de crise
💙 Des conseils pratiques pour mieux gérer l’asthme au quotidien et en toute confiance

Que vous viviez avec l’asthme, que vous preniez soin de quelqu’un qui en est atteint, ou que vous souhaitiez tout simplement en apprendre davantage, ce webinaire vous offrira des outils pratiques et des conseils pour mieux comprendre l’asthme et réagir avec assurance en cas de crise d’asthme.

A reminder: recognizing the signs of an asthma attack and responding quickly can save a life.

If an asthma attack happens, remember C.A.R.E.:
C – Calm: Keep them calm and reassure them
A – Air: Sit them upright and encourage slow breathing
R – Rescue Inhaler: Help them find and use their rescue inhaler* (usually blue).
E – Emergency: Call 911 if there is no inhaler or no improvement after using the inhaler

A sincere thank you to NDP Leader Marit Stiles and MPP France GĂ©linas for taking the time to meet with Asthma Canada and patient advocate Josh Rheaume to discuss the issues affecting people living with asthma.


We had a productive conversation about practical solutions, including the critical role of Certified Respiratory Educators (CREs) in primary care and through Asthma Canada’s Asthma & Allergy HelpLine.

We look forward to continuing these discussions with Members of Provincial Parliament later today at our World Asthma Day Reception.

Rachel Anne Normand and her family live in Ottawa. Without ever having prior knowledge of asthma, her son Jacob experienced a severe asthma attack one night that led to a hospital visit and an asthma diagnosis.

“That night, Jacob was diagnosed with asthma. That was how we found out, through a full-blown asthma attack rather than gradual symptoms or routine testing. We spent the night in the hospital and were discharged the next morning with an Asthma Action Plan and medications.”

Rachel and Jacob’s story is a reminder that asthma attacks aren’t always predictable and can get worse quickly. Recognizing the signs of an asthma attack and responding quickly could save a life.
