This is due to the small muscles in these airways are contracted. There are two receptors found here, the muscarinic and beta receptor. The beta receptors cause muscle relaxation and you want to promote them with a beta agonist (enabler). \u00a0 You want to block the muscarinic receptors (which cause contractions) with an antagonist (blocker). The medications that are beta agonists typically have names that end in &#8220;ol,&#8221; whereas the medications that are muscarinic antagonists have names that usually end in \u201cium.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The patient in this example continues to worsen and requires intubation and placement on a ventilator. Be sure to follow up with part 2 of this video series for further ventilator management in this asthma case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stay Tuned for More Updates\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our COVID-19 videos are always available for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(and ad-free) at<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medcram.com\/collections?category=covid-19-SARS-CoV-2\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MedCram.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
