    Albuterol sulfate, trade name Salbutamol, is a bronchodilator prescribed to treat acute attacks of bronchospasm. It works by acting on beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs to cause bronchodilation and vasodilation. Potential adverse effects include central nervous system stimulation, cardiac arrhythmias, and tachycardia. Nursing considerations for administration include using the minimum effective dose for short periods to prevent tolerance, having a beta-blocker available in case of cardiac issues, and preparing the nebulized solution correctly.
