Study summary

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.

Study population

The patients included were those referred to the allergy consultation (dermato-allergology department of the Nancy University Hospital), over a period from October 2017 to March 2021, for investigation of an immediate hypersensitivity reaction, involving a bronchospasm explicitly identified by the anaesthetist, which occurred during an anaesthetic procedure. There were no exclusion criteria.

Inclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • None
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 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)

  2. Treatments provided

    To determine whether the treatments provided to patients with non-allergic bronchospasm are different from those provided to patients with allergic bronchospasm.

    Time frame: Baseline (J0)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 27, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
