摘要
Nearly 21% of pediatric surgical operations are accompanied by adverse events,12.8% of which are respiratory complications including bronchospasm （1.2%） and pulmonary edema （11%）. Among them,aspiration pneumonia and negative-pressure pulmonary edema are rare pulmonary complications in pediatrics.However,they are difficult to predict and can be fatal if not appropriately treated;careful monitoring is required.We present a case of pulmonary complication secondary to aggravation of bronchial spasm during intubation of a pediatric patient.
