Why the study?
Bronchial spasm and tracheal tube obstruction are rare, dangerous emergencies during anesthesia, and it is even rarer for both to occur simultaneously in the same patient.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Timely detection and prompt handling of simultaneous bronchospasm and tracheal tube obstruction during general anesthesia can prevent adverse outcomes.
Vigilance for concurrent bronchospasm and tube obstruction enables timely rescue in anesthetized patients; case reports leave open questions on incidence and prevention.
Background Bronchial spasm and tracheal tube obstruction are rare but dangerous emergencies during anesthesia. It is even rarer for these two situations to occur simultaneously in the same patient. Case presentation In September 2022, a patient with endotracheal intubation experienced bronchospasm and then sputum obstruction of the tracheal tube during general anesthesia in our hospital. Thanks to the rapid identification of the etiology and timely intervention, the patient successfully completed the operation without any adverse outcomes. Conclusion During general anesthesia, various unexpected situations may occur at any time, and we need to constantly pay attention to the patient's vital signs. In case of emergency situations, timely detection and prompt handling can save the patient's life

Jin et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Bronchial spasm and tracheal tube obstruction during general anesthesia (n=1). Epinephrine administration and tracheal tube replacement was evaluated on Resolution of bronchospasm and airway obstruction.
