[PH2] Case Study: Perioperative Management of a Hypertensive Asthmatic Patient – Autonomic & Neuromuscular Pharmacology in Action

A 55-year-old asthmatic and hypertensive patient undergoes elective cholecystectomy, encountering a cascade of perioperative complications including bronchospasm, hypertension, and a neuromuscular blockade reversal error. This case challenges students to apply autonomic and peripheral nervous system pharmacology concepts to manage multiple clinical scenarios and reflect on patient safety.
