Perioperative anaphylaxis is a rare and life-threatening condition, with a mortality rate of 3%–9%. Several anesthetic agents are often used during general anesthesia, and all the anesthetics tend to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis due to propofol is very uncommon, which can occur in 1.2% of cases of perioperative anaphylactic shock. We report a case of a 64 year-old female patient who has suffered from anaphylaxis after being given propofol during the anesthesia induction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
