Esmolol is rapid ultrashort-acting, cardioselective beta1-adrenergic blocker and that is used for attenuation of acute hypertension associated with rapid sequence induction of general anesthesia. A 35-year-old severe preeclamptic patient was scheduled for elective cesarean section. After preoxygenation, anesthesia induced with using penthotal sodium 250 mg, esmolol 25 mg, and succinylcholine 62.5 mg for endotrachial intubation. We detected to increase airway resistance during manual ventilation. Breathing sound was auscultated wheezing and ronchi. And then cyanosis was developed and oxygen saturation was decreased to below 75%.
After 20 min, patient's color was returned to pink and patient's self-respiratory function was good. Bronchospasm occured because that beta-adrencergic blockade with esmolol, by leaving the parasympathetic and alpha-adrencrgic influence relatively unopposed. We report bronchospasm after esmolol 25 mg was injeected for attenuation of acute hypertensive response for cesarean section of preeclamptic patient with rapid sequence induction of general anesthesia. |
