Resolution of Bronchospasm by Atropine: Report of a Case

Jack M. Berger, Joseph A. Stirt

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

A case of bronchospasm during general anesthesia is presented in which atropine appeared to reverse bronchoconstriction, after high halothane concentrations, intratracheal lidocaine, and isoproterenol i.v. had all proved ineffective. This case illustrates a rational approach to the treatment of bronchospasm during anesthesia, based on determination of the most likely site of origin of bronchoconstriction within the tracheobronchial tree.
