Bronchospasm

Key points

  • Asthma is the most common cause of bronchospasm, though allergens, infections, and irritants can also trigger it.
  • Treatment typically begins with bronchodilators, available as inhalers, nebulizer solutions, or tablets.
  • Without treatment, severe bronchospasm can be fatal; sudden or severe breathing problems warrant emergency care.
