During the insertion of a rigid scope for bronchoscopy, a client experiences a vasovagal response. Nurse Tina should expect:
a. the client’s pupils to become dilated
b. the client to experience bronchodilation
c. a decrease in the client’s gastric secretions
d. a drop in the client’s heart rate
Answer D.
During a bronchoscopy, a vasovagal response may be caused by stimulating the pharynx, and it, in turn, may cause stimulation of the vagus nerve. The client may, therefore, experience a sudden drop in heart rate leading to syncope. Stimulation of the vagus nerve doesn’t lead to pupillary dilation or bronchodilation. Stimulation of the vagus nerve increases gastric secretions.
