The patient was a 7-year-old boy with asthma and allergies to egg and dairy. A slow inhalation induction was initiated in preparation for removal of an odontoma under general anesthesia. During the initial administration of anesthesia, we were able to maintain ventilation. However, ventilation difficulty, decreased blood pressure, and tachycardia occurred immediately after the administration of rocuronium. During direct laryngoscopy via standard laryngoscope, hypopharyngeal or glottic edema was not noted. We suspected an asthma attack, and

Asthma is an episodic disease characterized by hyperreactive bronchi, chronic airway inflammation, and airflow obstruction during expiration. Bronchospasm is caused by spasmodic contraction of the bronchial smooth muscle. Status asthmaticus is bronchospasm that does not respond to standard treatments, which include intravenous (IV), inhaled, and subcutaneous (SQ) interventions. It is estimated that 9.6 million children in the USA have been diagnosed with asthma. This represents approximately 13% of the total pediatric population. 1 , 2 The

benzodiazepine (10 mg) suppository to the patient. In addition, the patient had atopic dermatitis and multiple allergies, including milk, nuts, pollen, dogs, and cats. She also had bronchial asthma which was well controlled. She had been prescribed levocetirizine (10 mg, twice a day) for allergies, pranlukast (450 mg, twice a day) for asthma, and zolpidem (10 mg) and lemborexant (5 mg) before sleep for insomnia. Moreover, her mother told us that certain stimuli readily caused skin erythema and that the patient had hypersensitivity to skin contact. The patient was scheduled

asks about asthma, but many lack critical notations by the dentist of its severity. If your documentation does not include additional information on asthma ( How serious is it? E.R. visits? Hospital admissions? What triggers it? How do you manage it? When was your most recent attack? Are you clear now?Did you take your medication today? ), you will not be able to justify in court or at a dental board hearing your decision to proceed with administration of the anesthetic. The judge/jury/dental board hearing officer will have no way of knowing whether the patient had 4

increase in airway irritation. 1 Previous research has detailed negative health consequences of ETS to include increased likelihood of respiratory infections, middle ear infections, asthma onset and severity, sudden infant death syndrome, and even dental caries. 2 – 5 Jones and Bhattacharyya (2006) demonstrated that children who are exposed to ETS at home are more likely to experience adverse respiratory events while under or recovering from general anesthesia (GA) for a wide variety of procedures. 6 However, another study in 2006 noted that although healthy
