Response to inhaled beta-agonist in a patient receiving beta-adrenergic blockers. 1984

A P Lundin, and B Pilkington, and B G Delano, and E A Friedman

A 52-year-old man receiving long-term hemodialysis and a beta-adrenergic blocker for hypertension had symptoms of acute bronchospasm when exposed to a new hemodialyzer. Resistant to two doses of subcutaneous epinephrine (1 mL of 1:1000 dilution) and one intravenous dose of aminophylline (250 mg), the bronchospasm was rapidly relieved by metaproterenol sulfate given by inhalation one hour later.
