Learning Objectives • 1. The pathophysiology of anaphylaxis • 2. Clinical signs of anaphylaxis • 3. Differential diagnosis of anaphylaxis • 4. Spesific pharmacological and supportive treatment of anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis • A severe life threatening (Type I) immediate hypersensitivity reaction. • The reaction occurs when the person reexposed to an ‘allergen’, which leads to IgE Ab during previous exposure.
Anaphylaxis • Injected, inhaled or ingested substance –usually drugs, food, insect venom- can serve as the allergen itself.
Anaphylaxis • During 1st exposure, mast cells (A)-allergen (B) complex secrete IgE (C) antibodies. • Some of these IgE remain attached to the mast cells. • During the 2nd exposure allergen combines with IgE on the surface of the cell & release inflammatory mediators.
Anaphylaxis • Allergen: • IgE + Ag Mast cells, basophils: • Histamin, triptase, leukotriens, eosinophilic chemotactic factors are released. • IgG leads to “complemant” system activation.
Anaphylaxis • Non-Allergic (non-IgE, non-immun): • Reaction is developed by means of direct pharmacologic, toxic stimulus of the mast cells & basophils; Inflammatory mediators are released.
Uniphasic Anaphylaxis Treatment Initial Symptoms Time 0 AntigenExposure
Biphasic Anaphylaxis Treatment Treatment 1-8 hours Second-Phase Symptoms Initial Symptoms Classic Model Time 0 1-72 hours New Evidence AntigenExposure
Protracted Anaphylaxis Initial Symptoms 0 Time Possibly >24 hours Antigen Exposure
Anaphylactoid reaction • An identical or very similar clinical response (skin reaction) which is not mediated by IgE, or an Antigen-Antibody process.
Anaphylaxis during Anesthesia • Anaphylaxis incidence during anesthesia is:1/5.000-1/20.000 • Multiple drug use duing general anesthesia may mask the symptoms. • Diagnosis during anesthesia is DIFFICULT !
Agents responsible for anaphylaxis during Anesthesia • Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers • Latex & antibiotics • Colloid solutions, barbituric acid • All drugs & agents used during surgery or anesthesia may be responsible • Mind the solutions or drugs used by the SURGEON !!

Gastrointestinal symptoms • Nausea, vomiting, • Diarrhea, • Abdominal cramp like pain: uncommon except with food allergies.
Anaphylaxis: • Generally occurs immediately after drug injection (2-15 mins). • Generally related to iv agents. • Rarely occurs 2.5 hour after the drug therapy. • No death reports > 6 hours after the reaction. • Reaction time following oral drug intake is unpredictable ?
Anaphylaxis therapy* • STOP the responsible agent • Call for HELP • Warn the SURGEON • Trandelenburg position • Ventilation+%100 O2 • Fluid therapy: 500-1000 mL iv adult, ≥20 mL/kg çocuk (%09 NaCl, RL) * Kroigaard M.

CORTICOSTEROID Adult HIDROCORTISON 250 mg, M.Prednisolon 80 mg iv Pediatric HIDROCORTISON 50-100 mg, M.Prednisolon 2 mg/kg iv Anaphylaxis: Segondary therapy ? • Antihistaminic: • Adult • Promethazin 50 mg iv • Pediatric • Promethazin 0.3-1 mg/kg iv/im Bronchospasm: nebulised β2-agonist. Not a 1st choice therapy.
Anaphylaxis: Unresponsive to Adrenaline ! • NORADRENALIN: 0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min • VASOPRESSIN : 2-10 IU iv doses until response. • GLUCAGON:1-2 mg iv doses until response (in patients taking beta-blocker & unresponsive to high dose adrenaline).
Patients having anaphylactic rxn previously with • Polen, animal fur, dust atopy • Former prolonged latex exposure may develop reaction with LATEX.
RECOMMENDATIONS • Anaphylaxis with Local Anesthetics is RARE; prefer Regional or local anesthesia. • Agent of choice for General anesthesia is VOLATILE. “No Anaphylaxis is reported” • AVOID Latex & Neuromusculer blockers ! • Antihistaminic/steroid premedication does not prevent “anaphylactic shock” ? • If known to cause a previous reaction, avoid using that drug/agent.
Follow-up • After a moderate-severe anaphylactic rxn: • Follow-up with blood (triptase), then skin test. • Skin test: skin prick, intradermal test (IgE) or • If there is a local or disseminated urticeria related to Chlorhexidin skin test is necessary. • Follow-up is not necessary: • Erhythema around the injection site, isolated bronchospasm in patients with previous bronchial reactivity.
When we decide an Alergy test, the following should be reported: • Symptoms • Severity of the reaction • Onset time and length of the reaction, • Therapy • All the agents used before the reaction • Anesthesia form, notes • Fill the advers event form.
Primary evaluation • Serum triptase & IgE Ab. Blood sample for analysis must be drawn within 1-4 hrs following the rxn. 5-10 mL blood, serum. The timing of the blood sampling after the reaction should be noted ? • Control blood sample should be drawn before Anaphylaxis or 24 hrs after the reaction. • Blood for IgE analysis can be sampled within 6 months after the reaction.
Secondary evaluation Skin test: • Evaluates mast cell rxn by IgE. Salin (-) control, Histamin (+) control. Test has to be done 6 weeks after the reaction. • Bir NMBA ile (+) sonuç alındıysa, diğer NMB test edilmeli. • Bir LA rxn varsa diğerleri test edilmeli. Cross reactivity. Drug provacation test: RISKY ! • It has to be performed after the skin test. Generally 1/10 of the therapeutic dose of the drug responsible for the reaction is given via same route.
Frequently used agents during Anesthesia • NMBA. (skin prick test “gold standart”) • 1/5.000-10.000 (france,norway,GB). • Other countries 1/50.000-1/150.000. • Latex (<5-17.7%) • Antibiotics. (Penicillin 0.1%) • 15% of all the Anaphylactic rxns • Chlorhexidin. • 12% of all the rxns during anesthesia are related to it (in denmark). • Gelatin (4%-france). HES (0.006%)
Frequently used drugs during Anesthesia • Ketamine, Midazolam. Very rare. • Opioids. Low incidance. • L.Anesthetics. Very low. • Propofol. (2.3%) Rare. • Thiopental. 1/23.000-29.000 (higher in female) • NSAID. (general population 1%) rarely a problem during anesthesia. COX-2 inhibitors may be safer ?
