A case report of bronchospasm during a pneumonectomy has been presented. The difficulty in ventilation was due to spasm of the bronchial tree, and fixation of the chest wall was not a factor. The gross inflation of the lungs did not respond to treatment before there was severe cerebral anoxia. It is believed that this was the cause of death.
