My son being close to a year is not enjoying his 55 minute treatment so much anymore! So at our last clinic visit we discussed this and they wanted me to start using the Albuterol in the MDI (inhaler) and then procede with the Hypertonic Saline along with his vest. This cuts off about 15 minutes of his treatment per session. Who wouldn't choose this route, right?
As a worried mom, my question is.....is the MDI just as effective as the nebulizer? And what is the difference? It would be awesome to also hear from some of you who personally have CF and can tell me the difference from your point of view knowing and feeling what the difference (if any) may be?
I appreciate any advice you can provide!!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
