title: Albuterol and ephedrine in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease.
abstract: This study evaluated the cardiac, pulmonary and neuromuscular effects of albuterol and ephedrine. The pulmonary effects of albuterol occurred earlier, lasted longer and were greater in degree. The cardiac effects of both drugs were virtually non-existent. Tremor was recorded with the higher doses of albuterol.
