Perioperative anaphylaxis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The incidence of immune-mediated anaphylaxis during anesthesia ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000. Neuromuscular blocking agents represent the most frequently involved substances, followed by latex and antibiotics, but every drug or substance used may be involved. Diagnosis relies on tryptase measurements at the time of the reaction and skin tests and specific IgE or basophil activation assays.

متن کاملAnaphylaxis and anesthesia: controversies and new insights.
PERIOPERATIVE anaphylaxis may be a life-threatening clinical condition and is typically a result of drugs or substances used for anesthesia or surgery. After anaphylaxis, allergologic assessment is essential to identify the offending agent and prevent recurrences, because no preemptive therapeutic strategies exist. This review seeks to (1) identify the clinical diagnostic pathway necessary to d...
متن کاملAnaphylactic shock caused by intramuscular injection of midazolam during the perioperative period: a case report
Although anaphylactic shock during the perioperative period is rare, it can be lethal due to severe cardiovascular and respiratory collapse. Midazolam is generally used as premedication for relieving anxiety about the operation, and the danger of anaphylactic shock after intramuscular injection is not widely recognized. We report the first case of anaphylactic shock occurring during the periope...
متن کاملReclassifying Anaphylaxis to Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Based on the Presumed Patho-Mechanism: IgE-Mediated, Pharmacological Adverse Reaction or “Innate Hypersensitivity”?
Approximately 60% of perioperative anaphylactic reactions are thought to be immunoglobulin IgE mediated, whereas 40% are thought to be non-IgE mediated hypersensitivity reactions (both considered non-dose-related type B adverse drug reactions). In both cases, symptoms are elicited by mast cell degranulation. Also, pharmacological reactions to drugs (type A, dose-related) may sometimes mimic sym...
متن کاملRocuronium anaphylaxis in a 3-year-old girl with no previous exposure to neuromuscular blocking agents.
During the perioperative period, anaphylactic reactions rarely occur. Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are responsible for 60-70% of perioperative anaphylactic reactions. This case, we report a case of rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis in a 3-year-old girl with no previous exposure to NMBAs. This case cautions and informs practitioners that an IgE-mediated anaphylactic reaction with rocuroniu...
متن کاملAdverse drug reactions.
INTRODUCTION Surgical patients are exposed to multiple foreign substances in the perioperative period including drugs, blood products, or environmental antigens such as latex. Because any substance can produce an allergic or adverse reaction, clinicians must be ready to manage patients in this perioperative environment. The most life-threatening form of an allergic reaction is anaphylaxis, howe...
