I have a question for your next episode. I had a call today, a woman in her early 30’s had some breathing problems. The patient had bilateral ronchi in lower lobes. No wheezing heard. The patient has cystic fibrosis. The senior paramedic did an albuterol treatment. Not that I really disagree with that treatment, I wanted to know what would be an ideal treatment for an acute CF attack. I checked on the patient later on and it turns out she actually had pneumonia. Was albuterol the ideal treatment, or could this made a patient worse?
