CF Guidelines - Nebulised Antibiotics

Notes:
	All nebulised drugs need a test dose with pre/post spirometry (or listen to chest in younger children) when treatment is initiated. If they have a fall in FEV1 or become wheezy consider a trial of salbutamol via spacer prior to nebulised therapy. Consider stopping nebulised antibiotics for Ps.A when patients are admitted for IV antibiotics. The exception are those patients with multi-resistant strains in whom nebulised antibiotics are continued unless the patient is to receive the same antibiotic intravenously. Always consider using fast nebuliser such as eFlow or I-neb in order to aid patient adherence.
