lung physiology abnormalities are minimal&#44; despite the fact that the blockade obtained reaches thoracic levels&#46; Those changes&#44; such as loss of abdominal contribution to forced expiration &#8211; leading to diminished vital capacity &#8211; may be more evident in patients with chronic pulmonary disease&#46; However&#44; bronchospasm following spinal anaesthesia is extremely rare in healthy patients as well as in patients with bronchial disease&#46; Airway manipulation is considered the main triggering factor of bronchospasm during anaesthesia&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> Although a clear consensus is lacking in this regard&#44; subarachnoid or epidural anaesthesia are considered attractive options when wanting to avoid intubation&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> Specifically in asthmatic patients&#44; there appears to be a lower risk of bronchospasm under regional anaesthesia compared to general anaesthesia&#44; the main goal being the elimination of neural reflexes caused by intubation which have been found to give rise to the contraction of the smooth muscles of the tracheobronquial tree&#46; However&#44; regional anaesthesia is no guarantee of protection against bronchospasm&#46; In 1982&#44; Mallampati<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> published the first case in a pregnant woman given spinal anaesthesia due to abortion&#44; with an additional two cases reported years later&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> All three cases happened in patients with a diagnosis of asthma&#46; On the other hand&#44; the case published by Prabhakar<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> is probably the only one published so far in the English language in an otherwise healthy patient&#46; Our case happened in a male patient with bronchial disease and severe non-asthmatic emphysematous pattern&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Possible causes of bronchospasm following spinal anaesthesia are unclear&#46; It has been speculated that parasympathetic stimulation from surgery may be responsible&#44; considering that the smooth muscle of the bronchial tree has muscarinic receptors&#44; which produce bronchial constriction when activated by cholinergic stimulation&#46; On the other hand&#44; it has been proposed that blockade of sympathetic fibres in the thoracic segments may precipitate bronchospasm&#44; considering that they are responsible for the conduction of bronchodilator nerve impulses&#46; This has been replicated in animals&#44; confirming that spinal anaesthesia in animals increase bronchial constriction response to metacholine&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> Moreover&#44; a sympathetic block above T10-L1 could reduce adrenal production of adrenalin and&#44; considering that clearance of plasma adrenalin is fast&#44; a lower level of this substance during anaesthesia could lead to bronchospasm&#46; Also&#44; anxiety has been considered a favourable factor because the use of anxiolytics could prevent bronchospasm in selected patients&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The diagnosis of bronchospasm attributable to spinal anaesthesia must be made after ruling out all other potential causes&#46; In our case&#44; post-TUR reabsorption syndrome and fluid overload or cardiac asthma were causes that had to be considered as part of the differential diagnosis&#44; but no clinical signs were observed of cardiac overload or ventricular failure&#44; or crepitus or jugular engorgement&#44; and the X-ray taken in the immediate postoperative period was similar to the preoperative radiograph&#44; with no findings of heart failure or acute pulmonary oedema&#59; also important is the fact that the clinical manifestations resolved before the administration of furosemide&#46; Another possible diagnosis that had to be considered was an allergic reaction to local anaesthetics&#44; which occurs typically within 10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min of the injection and is associated&#44; besides bronchospasm&#44; with skin rash or facial blush and hypotension&#46; In our patient&#44; symptoms appeared after 35<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min and they were not associated with any other finding attributable to an allergic reaction&#46; No oral or parenteral medications had been administered previously&#44; except for amoxicillin as prophylactic antibiotic&#44; which could not explain the complication on the grounds of either time or symptomatology&#46; Pain or inadequate anaesthesia could have also triggered the symptoms as a result of a vagal reflex&#44; but in our patient the anaesthetic level was the right one and the patient was comfortable&#46; Finally&#44; motor block of abdominal and thoracic muscles may compromise ventilation&#44; and although it is possible that such compromise may have influenced the onset of dyspnoea&#44; the clinical manifestations were indicative of bronchospasm and not of muscle fatigue&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We are aware that&#44; given the multiple causes that may trigger bronchospasm&#44; this may be a limitation of the clinical case presented here&#46; However&#44; we think that this limitation is also a strong point because&#44; having ruled out all potential causes of bronchospasm&#44; and given the precedent in humans and in an animal model of higher bronchial reactivity after spinal anaesthesia&#44; our diagnostic approach was correct&#46;</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In summary&#44; bronchospasm is a condition that may occur unexpectedly during anaesthesia&#44; although it is very rare following spinal anaesthesia&#46; In this case&#44; our patient developed bronchospasm following subarachnoid anaesthesia&#44; which could not be attributed to any other cause&#44; adding one more case to the scant literature on this topic&#46; In our opinion&#44; further studies are required to elucidate how neuroaxial blockade affects the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree&#46; Additionally&#44; it is important to recognize that although spinal anaesthesia is considered the safest modality in patients with respiratory disease&#44; specifically in asthmatics there is a possibility that it may induce bronchospasm in susceptible patients&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0040" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0055">Funding</span><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have not received any form of aid or grant during the development of this work&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0060">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"
