Cystic Fibrosis Critical Care

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system, causing thick mucus production that can lead to serious respiratory issues and infections. In critical care, healthcare professionals monitor and support patients with CF who experience severe breathing problems or complications. Treatment may include oxygen therapy, medications to clear mucus, antibiotics for infections, and, in some cases, emergency interventions. The goal is to stabilize the patient's condition, improve lung function, and manage any life-threatening complications, ensuring the best possible outcome for the patient.
