Perioperative Anaphylaxis

Abstract: The incidence of immune-mediated anaphylaxis during anesthesia ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000. Neuromuscular blocking agents are most frequently incriminated, followed by latex and antibiotics, although any drug or substance used may be a culprit. Diagnosis relies on tryptase measurements at the time of the reaction and skin tests, specific immunoglobulin E, or basophil activation assays. Treatment consists of rapid volume expansion and epinephrine administration titrated to symptom severity.

“…This is a bovine-derived protease inhibitor used via the parenteral route as a fibrinolysis inhibitor or topically as a surgical glue [17]. The incidence of reactions in cardiac surgery is 0.5% but it can increase to 2.5-2.8% in patients who have previously undergone multiple surgeries [99,100], especially in the previous six months [31]. Perioperative anaphylaxis has also occurred upon the first parenteral administration in patients that had previously received topical aprotinin [17].…”

“…The reported incidence of anaphylaxis during anesthesia is approximately 1 case per 5,000-20,000 patients per year; this estimate may be increasing secondary to improved accounting measures [48][49][50]. Patients with mastocytosis experience both immune (IgE-related) and non-immune anaphylaxis, and the overall incidence of anaphylaxis in patients with mastocytosis has been reported to be higher than in the general population [1,16,35,51].…”

“…During the early phase of immune-mediated anaphylaxis, both serum histamine and tryptase levels increase. The serum half-life of histamine is less than 30 min and levels fall abruptly within 1 h of anaphylaxis [18,49,66]. In both IgE-like and nonimmune anaphylaxis-like incidents, tryptase, with a longer serum half life of approximately 90 min, peaks as histamine levels are declining and will not typically fall to normal levels for 4-6 h after the incident [91].…”

“…In a recent review analyzing 9 retrospective studies and 16 prospective studies, the incidence of anaphylactic reactions was estimated to be 0.19% (retrospective studies) and 0.69% (prospective studies), respectively (33). Protamine can cause significant histamine release resulting in hypotension and bronchospasm, and even pulmonary hypertension (34).…”
