  • Title: The effect of sedation with propofol on postoperative bronchoconstriction in patients with hyperreactive airway disease.
    Author: Pedersen CM.
    Journal: Intensive Care Med; 1992; 18(1):45-6. PubMed ID: 1578048.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease developed postoperatively bronchospasm after insertion of a prostetic aortic valve. Continuous sedation with propofol infusion was associated with a significant decline in peak inspiratory pressure suggesting that propofol may have bronchodilating properties.
