Question

A 42 year old male was admitted to the ICU following an acute exacerbation of his long-standing asthma. He had been helping his neighbor install fiberglass insulation in the attic of his home when he had difficulty breathing and he did not improve with use of B2-agonists. Several nebulized inhalation treatments in the emergency department with albuterol did not resolve his acute bronchospasms and his oxygen saturation remained 88% despite supplemental oxygen via face mask.
