...an addendum, I have found some journal articles, but what I'm hoping to find are articles specific to hospice and palliative nursing. Also, would appreciate your thoughts from those of you who have used nebulized lasix. What dose did you use?
Thanks!

I have only used the nebbed 4% topical LIDOCAINE. Not sure if the post i read meant to read as LASIX or if there are two separate issues here. Sorry not much help.

Lasix. Nebulized lido isn't so cool as it can really potentiate aspiration(I'm a former ER nurse).But, I have read some old studies re: nebulized LASIX (furosemide)which state it is very effective in dyspnea.

In a bit of a hurry now, but I have used nebulized Lasix. We put 10mg/5cc sterilized water. It takes a bit to go in that way. I looked up under nubulized lasix and hospice when I printed up article at work. From what I remember it said that it made it easier for the stretch receptors of the lungs to expand. I have had great success with it in my COPD and CHF patients. Good luck.

it is very effective w/dyspnea, as long as it's r/t fluid retention.

we use 20-40mg in 2.5cc of saline, bid prn.

Wow, that's really interesting, I've never used Lasix in neb tx. Our palliative care MD orders a lot of Fentanyl nebs for our COPD + Lung Ca pts and they've always been very affective.
