How often can Salbutamol be administered if needed, according to the protocol?

Salbutamol, a short-acting beta-agonist used for bronchospasm relief, can be administered multiple times based on the severity of the patient's condition. The protocol allows for administration every 5-15 minutes, which is particularly crucial in acute situations such as asthma exacerbations or bronchospasm where quick relief is needed. This rapid administration helps ensure that the airway is dilated effectively, allowing the patient to breathe more easily.

The flexibility to administer Salbutamol within this short interval enables paramedics to closely monitor patients and make necessary adjustments based on their responses to the medication. Continuous assessment is vital when managing respiratory distress, and the ability to give Salbutamol frequently plays a critical role in effective emergency care.

In contrast, the other options suggest longer intervals which are not ideal in urgent situations requiring immediate relief of symptoms. Allowing a longer duration between doses could result in inadequate management of the patient’s condition, thus potentially leading to further respiratory compromise.
