Bronchospasm Under General Anaesthesia
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Intraoperative bronchospasm caused by the spasmodic contraction of bronchial smooth muscle is a rare but potentially lethal challenge for anaesthesiologists. Retrospective analysis shows an incidence of 1.7 per 1000 patients with a confirmed higher possibility in the presence of irritable airway pathology and accounts for almost similar percentage of ASA closed claims study. It can happen in isolation or as a part of more serious pathology such as type E immunoglobulin mediated anaphylaxis.
