Conclusions: The results concluded that implementation of respiratory guidelines associated with a significant improvement in the total mean scores of patients' knowledge, asthma severity and spirometry readings in study group rather than control group Recommendations: It was recommended to consider respiratory guidelines when planning a routine care for asthmatic patient , apply the respiratory guidelines on a larger probability sample acquired from different geographical areas in Egypt for generalization.
