Aortic dissection is a rare occurrent condition involving the body's main artery, the aorta, and carrying with it high morbidity and mortality. It is one of the conditions that fall under the term acute aortic syndromes. Although it is uncommon, it is hard to describe the true number of cases as most cases are based on autopsy reports. Therefore, to encounter this catastrophic condition, early diagnosis and immediate management are vital for the survival of patients. The goal was to review the literature to enhance the awareness and understanding of mesenteric ischemia. We reviewed the literature for aortic dissection; pathophysiology, classification, diagnosis, and options for treatment. Articles were selected from the PubMed database, and the studies selected were subjected to a thorough review. Aortic dissection is an uncommon condition presenting as severe chest or back pain. Although it is uncommon, it remains a potentially fatal condition that may jeopardize a patient's life. It starts with a tear in the aortic intima, that can propagate on both sides leading eventually to end-organ ischemia and death. Early diagnosis and rapid management are the keys to a patient's survival.
Salbutamol is a well-known example of a short-acting beta agonist that is used as therapy for managing asthma, bronchospasm and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Short-acting beta agonist without a controller should only be taken into consideration as needed if symptoms are minimal and there is no asthma-related awakening. Salbutamol's maximal efficacy is based on how it is administered and the formulation that is utilized. Inhaled salbutamol is a first-line treatment for the majority of patients because it provides quick bronchodilation and typically relieves bronchospasm within minutes. Salbutamol immediately relieves the symptoms of acute asthma by relaxing the smooth muscle in the airways and boosting airflow. Patient experiences immediate relief from coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest, and shortness of breath. Salbutamol's fast alleviation of symptoms may encourage abuse and overuse, especially in adolescents. On the basis of clinical and laboratory results, the diagnosis of salbutamol toxicity can be formed. The management is primarily supportive and includes stopping the harmful agent and using beta blockers to relieve symptoms. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about diagnosis, complication and treatment of acute salbutamol toxicity. Salbutamol overdose may cause tremors, hyperglycemia, lactic acidosis, and cardiac arrhythmias. Treatment for patients with severe symptoms include administration of beta-blockers if there are no contraindications also potassium supplementation, activated charcoal and gastric lavage among commonly used therapeutic strategies. Although salbutamol toxicity is uncommon still the physicians shall be knowledgeable about the diagnosis and management of salbutamol toxicity due to its widespread usage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
