She developed an upper respiratory tract infection 4 days ago, and 2 days later she noted increased cough, sputum production, wheezing, and chest tightness. She has used her albuterol inhaler many times over the past 2 days with limited benefit. On physical examination, she is alert but anxious; her temperature is 37 °C (98.6 °F), blood pressure is 140/85 mm Hg, heart rate is 115/min, and respiration rate is 32/min. Oxygen saturation is 93% with the patient receiving low-flow supplemental oxygen. Examination of the chest shows reduced breath sounds over both lung fields with prolonged expiration and minimal wheezing. Spirometry shows an FEV1 of 0.96 L (31% of predicted). After the patient is given nebulized albuterol/ipratropium bromide, only minimal improvement is noted. On repeat physical examination, her heart rate is 130/min and her respiratory rate is 24/min. Auscultation of the lungs shows decreased air entry and minimal wheezing; spirometry shows an FEV1 of 1.05 L (34% of predicted). Chest radiograph shows evidence of hyperinflation.
