New Insights into Pulmonary Exacerbations

In this issue:

Where’s the evidence about managing pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis? What actually defines an exacerbation? Do females and males respond differently to treatment? Should two antipseudomonal antibiotics remain the standard of care?  

Join us in this issue of eCysticFibrosis Review as Dr. D.B. Sanders from the Indiana University School of Medicine describes the ongoing research into exacerbation management. 

Learning objectives:

  • Discuss the impact of pulmonary exacerbation treatment decisions on pulmonary exacerbation outcomes in people with cystic fibrosis. 
  • Describe the differences in pulmonary exacerbation treatment responses between men and women with CF.
