Treatment of ventilation failure after tracheal intubation due to asthma attack with high concentration sevoflurane

Asthma involves chronic inflammation of the airways, with reversible airflow obstruction and enhanced bronchial reactivity, and asthma attacks can occasionally occur during the perioperative period. Here, we report a case of severe asthma attack after tracheal intubation, leading to impossible ventilation, which was relieved by high concentration sevoflurane inhalation.
