Question

A respiratory director recently presented a research paper advocating for the use of long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs) in the context of reducing labor costs. The research is based on which is cheaper to give from labor stand point. Administering each breathing treatment is equal to 15 minutes of respiratory therapist time. LABAs are administered every 12 hours while SABAs are every 4 hours. I have been tasked with developing a counterargument to the assertion that transitioning nebulizer treatments from current practices SABAs to LABAs at the long-term acute care (LTAC) facility would NOT yield significant cost savings. In this response, I will provide an evidence-based rationale demonstrating that short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) offer greater benefits for the medical outcomes of respiratory patients compared to LABAs.
