Salbutamol is a bronchodilator used to prevent and relieve bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease. It works by activating beta2-adrenergic receptors in airway smooth muscle, which leads to relaxation. Common adverse reactions include dizziness, headache, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and cough. As a nurse, responsibilities when administering salbutamol include obtaining allergy history, using the inhaler or nebulizer properly, recording administration, and instructing the client on proper use.
