Thanks, Sue. So interesting about the new protocols with Albuterol and the timing differences. Definitely have to review that. You're so right about "less time = more compliance". After I nebulize with Albuterol and the saline, I have to really push myself to complete more airway clearance steps. Thanks for your help.

Sue, can you go over that protocol again please. I usually nebulize my albuterol first, then right after nebulize the 7% saline. And you’re right it takes 30-40 mins to do both then there is 10 mins or so for PEP device. Twice a day!!! Now I’m not on Symbicort, but have albuterol rescue inhaler. So I would use albuterol inhaler with spacer 2 or 3 puffs, then wait 15 mins and nebulize 7% saline? Does that sound right?
