Summary
Allergic reactions during regional and general anaesthesia represent relatively infrequent but serious complications. Out of the drugs used in anaesthetics, the most common triggers of allergic reactions are muscle relaxants, particularly suxamethonium and rocuronium. Atracurium on the other hand usually causes anaphylactoid reactions. The authors present four case reports illustrating the anaphylactic and anaphylactiod reactions. The pathophysiology, diagnostics and management of serious allergic reactions are discussed. The authors also discuss the preoperative assesment and preparation of allergic patients and the preparation of the anaesthesiologists for managing these complications.
Keywords:
anaphylaxis – muscle relaxants – rocuronium – anaesthesia
