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 pathology1 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.
