Bronchodilatation, or bronchodilation, is a reduction in airway resistance caused by the relaxation of airway smooth muscle.
[1][2] Medically, bronchodilatation is used in the treatment of certain respiratory disorders, where it can reduce respiratory symptoms and/or improve lung function.
Pharmacologically, bronchodilatation is achieved via bronchodilators.
