Intraoperative Wheezing
View through CrossRef
Wheezing is an important sign for anesthesiologists. At the preoperative consult it usually indicates bronchospasm from poorly controlled asthma, though many other causes are possible. Intraoperative wheezing also has many potential causes, including bronchospasm, airway obstruction, anaphylaxis, or aspiration. Intraoperative wheezing is an anesthetic emergency that can lead to life-threatening respiratory and cardiac complications. Prompt action to maintain oxygenation, removal of any trigger factors, and, if indicated, bronchodilator administration will usually result in a safe outcome.
