BuriedBombshell 63 Posted April 10, 2013 Was anyone else given an inhaler (albuterol) after surgery? I'm curious why I was given one...though I did have a bit of a cold when I went in. I forgot to use it at home until yesterday (day 10).....so I'm curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yaya 81 Posted April 10, 2013 Ihave been given some inhaler treatments (just sleeved yesterday) to open up my lungs because the anesthesia can cause your airways to close, leading to pneumonia. 1 BuriedBombshell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyrakl 15 Posted April 10, 2013 Do whatever they tell you to do to prevent pneumonia. I got it and it has really interfered with my recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
