During an asthma attack, airway muscles clamp down and tighten, restricting airflow; rescue inhalers (bronchodilators) work by targeting these tight muscles directly, causing them to relax and open up the airways, allowing oxygen to flow freely again. Proper technique involves shaking the inhaler well, pressing down, and breathing in slowly to deliver the medication deep into the lungs.
