Abstract:
Severe bronchospasm, hypotension and skin rash were observed in a 23 year-old woman after injection of gallamine iodide. Her past history revealed no asthmatic and allergic diathesis. Initial administration of succinylcholine induced a mild degree of bronchspasm and urticaria-like skin rash, which were intensified in severity after gallamine injection under the anesthetic state. Administration of hydrocortisone 500mg I.V. and antihistaminic(Avil), 100pmg I.M., produced successful relief of bronchospasm with circulatory embarrassment. A review was done as to histamine libration and bronchospasm due to succinylcholine, gallamine, d-tubocurarine, thiopental and atropine. The value of intradermal skin rash test was discussed.
