Help please ;/ I'm a nursing student-need help remembering a med name

Specialties Emergency

Published

I'm doing a case study on a patient I had in the Emergency Room. The patient was elderly and presented with pneumonia. The RT gave her a breathing treatment, but I can't remember the name of the med! I do remember that it started with "A." Could you please, please help me out by naming some medications that fit this description? This case study is due in the morning, and done except for this detail! Thank you SO much!

*edit* It isn't Albuterol or Atropine

Albuterol?

Thank you both for trying. It wasn't Albuterol, though. It was something a little more obscure and unexpected than that. It may have even been a combo...? It wasn't Albuterol and I don't think it was Atropine...are there any other A's?

Maybe get an really thorough drug book (at the school library or something) and go through all the A-names. Good luck!
