I'm sure you've seen FOOM in action before. It's an acronym:
Fluid
Overload
Over
Medicated
It's happens most commonly in elderly ladies post operation. The physician decides it's a good idea to pump 35,000 cc of fluid into her, and then give her a sedative like xanax. Then the becomes wet, does not wake up, and the physician panics and orders albuterol.
Yes, it's called FOOM: fluid overload, over medicated. I'm thinking a better treatment than albuterol for this patient might be foamoterol brand fenoterol.
