A severe asthma patient experienced unexplained cardiovascular collapse during surgery. Postoperative allergy testing revealed a latex allergy, highlighting the need for thorough preanesthetic evaluation and systematic allergy testing.

Area of Science:

Anesthesiology
Allergology
Immunology

Background:

A 44-year-old woman with a history of allergies and severe asthma underwent general anesthesia.
The patient experienced an unexplained cardiovascular collapse during the surgical procedure.

Observation:

Despite recovery, no immediate postoperative investigations were conducted.
The patient later required a cholecystectomy, prompting a review of her medical history.
Preanesthetic assessment suggested a possible intraoperative allergic reaction.

Findings:

Allergological tests definitively confirmed a latex allergy.
The patient's history of multiple allergies and severe asthma were critical factors.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of detailed preanesthetic patient history review.
Systematic allergological evaluation is crucial following unexplained intraoperative events suggestive of anaphylaxis.
Clear communication and documentation of such events to patients are essential for future medical care.
