How does terbutaline affect oxygen saturation levels and what are the implications for its use in patients with hypoxia or respiratory distress?
Terbutaline may increase oxygen saturation by relaxing airway muscles, improving ventilation. However, caution is advised in patients with severe hypoxia as it can exacerbate conditions like tachycardia.
