What is allergy to anesthesia?

  • Anaphylaxis is a term used to describe a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction.
  • It's an unpredictably dangerous disorder in which symptoms rapidly worsen after coming into contact with a triggering agent. Insect stings, food, and drugs are some of the most prevalent triggers.
  • Anesthesiologists utilize a range of drugs to keep patients safe and comfortable during surgery, all of which have the potential to produce an allergic response or anaphylaxis if administered to a patient who is allergic to them.
  • Neuromuscular blocking medicines (paralytics), antibiotics, and latex are the most prevalent causes of allergic responses in the operating room.
