CORRECT Answers
1. SABA names albuterol
levalbuterol
2. SABA MOA (albuterol, leval- bind to B2 receptors in airway smooth muscle
buterol) relax smooth muscle using cAMP pathway, bronchodilation; inhibit
release of hypersensitivity mediators esp. from mast cells
3. SABA indications (al- acute bronchospasm in asthma or COPD
buterol, levalbuterol)
do not help with airway inflammation
4. treatment of acute asthma add a SAMA to help with bronchodilator
attack and pt taking beta
blocker

asthma exacerbation
6. SABA S/E (albuterol, leval- tachycardia
