He was placed on Ventolin and Solu-Medrol. Librium was also given to prevent delirium tremens. A colonoscopy was performed because of past history of colon polyps, with no recurrence found. At discharge, he was no longer dyspenic at rest. He was to start taking Zantac for colitis and to continue Solu-Medrol for the acute bronchospasm.
