MANAGEMENT OF

INTRAOPERATIVE
BRONCHOSPASM
Dr. Imran
BRONCHOSPASM

Definition: constriction of smooth muscles of


bronchi & bronchioles.
ANATOMY
Arterial supply:
 Right , one Bronchial Artery from 3rd posterior intercostal
artery.
 Left , two Bronchial Arteries from descending thoracic
aorta.
Venous drainage:
mostly from pulmonary veins, from bronchial veins.
Lymphatic drainage : Interbronchial LN

Tracheobronchial LN

Bronchomediastinal LN

CAUSES OF BRONCHOSPASM
Non allergic mechanism:
Mechanical factors
Pharmacological factors: via histamine
releasing drugs.

Non allergic mechanism: by nonspecific stimuli


(by ETT or Suction catheter)
Hyper reactive airway: Asthma, chronic smoker,
COPD, URTI.
Immediate hypersensitivity: ALLERGY
Ig E mediated Anaphylaxis
Anaphylactoid: Non immune mechanism.

Drugs causing bronchospasm: Adenosine, Non


selective beta blockers ( propanolol, timolol,
nadolol, pindolol, alprenolol,oxprenolol)
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
•Mechanical obstruction due to kinking, secretions,
overinflation of tracheal tube cuff
•Laryngospasm
•Esophageal intubation
•Inadequate depth of Anesthesia
•Endobronchial intubation
•Obstruction of tube by foreign body
•Pulmonary aspiration
•Pulmonary edema
•Pulonary embolus
•Pneumothorax
•Extreme Head down position & bowel packing.
BRONCHOSPASM LARYNGOSPASM
Expiratory and accompained Inspiratory usually
by a wheeze or croup accompained by a stridor
Accessory muscles of Indrawing of the intercostals
respiration suprasternal notch present
Expiration is prolonged Not prolonged
Cyanosis is slow to develop Develops rapidly
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Exaggerated bronchoconstrictor response to
trigger - airway edema , increased secretions,
smooth muscle contraction.

Airway inflammation increases bronchial hyper


responsiveness.

Signs and symptoms
Rash

Increased peak airway pressure during IPPV

Wheeze(Expiratory)/ silent chest

Hypotension due to development of auto PEEP.

Falling oxygen saturation

Increased ET CO2

Capnography change: ‘sharkfin’ appearance


Auto PEEP/ Intrinsic PEEP?
Accumulation of air in alveoli if breath is delivered
before complete exhalation of previous breath
 Positive airway pressure at the end of
Expiration.

Over expansion of lungs leading to dynamic


hyperinflation of lungs.

HYPOTENSION
Treated by increasing expiratory time.
Other causes of auto PEEP
Mucus plugging of airways
Large Minute Ventilation
Block in expiratory limb of breathing circuit
Smaller ETT with inadequate expiratory time.

DIAGNOSIS by APNEA TEST for 30sec.


Anesthetic management
Preoperative assessment
For COPD: stop smoking, infection control, chest
physiotherapy, use of bronchodilators and
steroids.

All patients should be counselled and encouraged


to stop smoking preoperatively. Six to eight weeks
of abstinence before surgery significantly reduces
the risk of respiratory complications including
bronchospasm.
• Evaluate the patients asthma over the past half
year.

• Improve lung function to predicted values before


surgery, possibly with short course of oral
steroids.

• Give patients who have received steroids for


longer than 2 weeks 100 mg hydrocortisone TID
iv. Taper within 24hrs.
URTI in children increases the risk of
bronchospasm and so it may be necessary to
postpone surgery. The complete resolution of
symptoms (approximately 2 weeks) correlates
well with a decreased incidence of airway hyper
reactivity.
Pretreatment with an inhaled/nebulised beta
agonist, 30 minutes prior to surgery, induction of
anaesthesia with propofol and adequate depth of
anaesthesia before airway instrumentation
reduces the risk of bronchospasm.
Regional v/s General??
• Instrumentation of airway is the main trigger for
wheezing during anesthesia.

• LMA cause less airway resistance increase than


ETT.

• RA is ideal for reactive airway disease.


On suspecting bronchospasm
• Switch to 100% oxygen

• Ventilate by hand

• Stop stimulation / surgery

• Consider allergy / anaphylaxis; stop administration of


suspected drugs / colloid / blood products

Thorough ETT suction after deepening of anesthesia.


hypoxia & reverse
bronchoconstriction
Deepen anaesthesia

If ventilation through ETT difficult/impossible, check


tube position and exclude blocked/misplaced tube.

If necessary eliminate breathing circuit occlusion by


using self-inflating bag
In non-intubated patients exclude laryngospasm and
consider aspiration

Glucocorticoid receptor alpha of airway epithelial
cells is target of ICS.

Interact with transcription factors responsible for


pro inflammatory mediators.
Arachidonic acid is converted into Leukotrienes
via the 5- lipoxygenase pathway.

Leukotrienes C4, D4, E4 causes


bronchoconstriction, tissue edema, eosinophil
migration and increased airway secretion.
METHYLXANTHINES
AMINOPHYLLINE:
 inhibitor of phosphodiesterase :increases cAMP
and cGMP
 Adenosine receptorA1 A2 antagonism causing
inhibition of release of histamine and
leukotrienes.
 Activates histone deacetylase reducing
expression of inflammatory genes..
