Bronchospasm during anaesthesia is a rare but potentially life-threatening event. They are classically part of IgE-dependent anaphylaxis but can also occur as an independent clinical entity, triggered by inflammatory factors such as smoking, chronic bronchitis, asthma, overweight and mechanical factors such as tracheal intubation. The etiological diagnosis is currently established during an allergy-anaesthesia consultation after skin testing for drugs used for induction of anaesthesia and antibiotic therapy when it is attributable. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics that differ between 2 groups: isolated non-allergic bronchospasm and bronchospasm as part of an immediate allergic hypersensitivity reaction.

Clinical reactions
To show that clinical reactions presented by patients with non-allergic bronchospasm are different from those presented with allergic bronchospasm (Presence or absence of associated signs such as hypotension, heart rate variation, skin signs, desaturation, EtCO2 variation).
Time frame: Baseline (J0)
Treatments provided
To determine whether the treatments provided to patients with non-allergic bronchospasm are different from those provided to patients with allergic bronchospasm.
