Terbutaline can be used in managing status asthmaticus. It acts quickly to relax airway muscles, but corticosteroids and inhaled beta2-agonists like albuterol often show superior efficacy.
Terbutaline, a beta2-agonist, is effective for status asthmaticus, offering bronchodilation. However, it is generally less favored compared to albuterol due to albuterol’s more favorable side effect profile.
