Case Study Of Jim's Collapse
It may be that following the recent fall and being less active, Jim's sputum ability to clear sputum had diminished and I have requested that he recommence regular nebulised saline and use the previously provided Bubble PEP device. I have also stopped doxycycline and switched him over to low-dose Erythromycin ES 400mg daily, particularly given that macrolides have the added benefit of an anti-inflammatory effect.
Jm will have a repeat CT scan in a couple of weeks and hopefully by that stage will have cleared any mucus from the right middle lobe. If there is persisting collapse, he will need to under another bronchoscopy.
