Perioperative wheezing--a report of three cases
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore
|March 29, 2001
Abstract
Clinical Picture:
We describe 3 patients with perioperative wheezing, 2 of whom were treated with bronchodilators on the presumptive diagnosis of bronchospasm.
Treatment And Outcome:
Subsequent clinical improvement occurred when it was recognised that the wheezing was due to upper airway obstruction and stridor, not bronchospasm and rhonchi, and appropriate treatment instituted.
