    Salbutamol (Ventolin) is a bronchodilator used to treat bronchospasm and asthma. It works by binding to beta2-adrenergic receptors in the airways, activating adenyl cyclase and increasing cAMP levels. This leads to relaxation of airway smooth muscle. It can be administered via nebulizer to treat acute severe asthma or prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm. Nursing responsibilities include monitoring vital signs, watching for paradoxical bronchospasm, and instructing patients on proper use.
