          Abstract

          Bronchospasm is a clinical condition that can occur unexpectedly during general anaesthesia, but is extremely rare after spinal anaesthesia. The following is a case presentation of a patient who developed bronchospasm after undergoing spinal anaesthesia not attributable to other causes, and that adds another case to the limited literature. Most publications allude to asthmatic patients, and this is probably the first description about a patient with emphysema-type COPD. Our case shows that although spinal anaesthesia is considered safe for patients with respiratory disease, specifically in asthmatic patients there is a possibility of bronchospasm in susceptible patients.

          El broncoespasmo es una condición clínica que puede aparecer inesperadamente durante la anestesia general, pero es extremadamente rara tras la anestesia espinal. Presentamos un paciente que desarrolló broncoespasmo tras ser sometido a anestesia espinal, no atribuible a otras causas y que añade un caso más a la escasa literatura al respecto. La mayoría de las publicaciones se refieren a pacientes asmáticos, y esta sea probablemente la primera descripción en un paciente con EPOC tipo enfisematoso. Nuestro caso muestra que aunque la anestesia espinal se considere más segura para pacientes con patología respiratoria, en concreto en pacientes asmáticos, existe la posibilidad de que ésta produzca broncoespasmo en pacientes susceptibles.
