AbstractA 22-year-old woman with no history of asthma developed an acute recurrent attack of severe bronchoconstriction and right upper lobe atelectasis immediately after laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. The first attack had taken place 2 months earlier under identical circumstances. Induction of anesthesia for tracheal intubation was achieved using propofol, fentanyl, and rocuronium. Bronchial obstruction and bronchial intubation were excluded by bronchoscopy. The atelectasis was quickly resolved with mechanical ventilation and spasmolytic treatment on both occasions. The surgical procedure could proceed soon after resolution of the atelectasis.
