%0 Journal Article %A Elliot Dasenbrook %T Keep cystic fibrosis patients out of the hospital %D 2020 %R 10.3949/ccjm.87a.ccc005 %J Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine %X No specific data exists regarding management of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are infected with COVID-19. Based on expert opinion, strategies for outpatient management include use of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor to reduce pulmonary exacerbations, telemedicine, adherence to prescribed regimens, prompt and aggressive treatment of CF exacerbations, and communication about COVID-19 with patients with CF. Strategies for inpatient management may vary due to special precautions to avoid the aerosolization of COVID-19 with the use of nebulized medications and other therapies. %U https://www.ccjm.org/content/ccjom/early/2020/05/04/ccjm.87a.ccc005.full.pdf
