Management of acute loss of asthma control: yellow zone strategies

This article reviews the evidence behind various recommended yellow zone intervention strategies. Recent findings There are many potential methods of delivering yellow zone therapy, and recent studies have assessed preventive efficacy of a scheduled increase in controller medication(s), reliever medication(s), or a symptom-driven combination of both.

Summary Multiple yellow zone approaches may be beneficial, and the yellow zone is not a ‘one size fits all’ narrative.
