  • Title: [A new case of bronchospasm under extracorporeal circulation].
    Author: Hentz JG, De Armendi AJ, Schaeffer R.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 1986; 5(2):157-9. PubMed ID: 3487996.
    Abstract:
    A case of bronchospasm occurring after the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass is reported. The complement fractions C3a, C4a and C5a were measured before and right after CPB. Complement activation is not specific to CPB but may occur in any thoracotomy. The statistically significant increase in complement C3a without any pulmonary symptomatology has been reported by several authors. Complement activation cannot therefore be considered as the explanation of this bronchospasm.
