Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) has robust scientific validation for its use in supporting the bronchial body system, particularly in the management of acute bronchospasm. It is a potent sympathomimetic agent that acts on both alpha and beta-adrenergic receptors, leading to bronchodilation—relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. This pharmacological property is especially critical in the emergency treatment of severe asthma attacks and anaphylactic reactions, where airway constriction can be life-threatening. Administration of adrenaline rapidly reverses bronchospasm, reduces airway edema, and improves airflow, often within minutes. Its use in this context is supported by decades of clinical research and is included in major guidelines such as those from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI). Although newer, selective beta-2 agonists (e.g., salbutamol/albuterol) are now preferred for routine asthma management due to fewer side effects, adrenaline remains a first-line, life-saving intervention for acute, severe bronchial constriction—especially when accompanied by systemic allergic reactions. Thus, the use of adrenaline for bronchial support is not only rooted in scientific evidence but also considered a standard of care in emergency medicine.
