    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Severe bronchospasm is a critical condition in pediatric asthma.
    • Conventional therapies (e.g., bronchodilators, corticosteroids) may fail in refractory cases.

    Observation:

    • A nine-year-old male presented with severe, treatment-refractory bronchospasm.
    • Standard asthma management protocols provided no relief.

    Findings:

    • Intravenous administration of ketamine hydrochloride rapidly eased the severe bronchospasm.
    • Ketamine hydrochloride demonstrated efficacy in a pediatric patient with refractory asthma.

    Implications:

    • Ketamine hydrochloride may represent a novel therapeutic option for severe, refractory pediatric asthma.
    • Further research is warranted to explore ketamine's role in asthma management.
    • This finding could alter emergency treatment protocols for severe asthma exacerbations.
