For pediatric patients experiencing anaphylaxis, what is the dose of Albuterol via nebulizer?

In the case of pediatric patients experiencing anaphylaxis, the appropriate dose of Albuterol administered via nebulizer is 2.5 mg. This dosage is consistent with established guidelines for treating bronchospasm and respiratory distress that can accompany anaphylactic reactions. Albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier for the patient to breathe.

Using 2.5 mg of Albuterol is also in line with dosing protocols that consider the safety and efficacy for children, ensuring they receive effective treatment while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. This dosage reflects a balance between achieving bronchodilation and maintaining patient safety, making it the standard for pediatric patients in a prehospital setting during anaphylaxis.
