Abstract:
Anaphylaxis is one of the most life-threatening emergencies that can occur in the perioperative period. Multiple agents can be responsible, and nonallergic reactions can mimic anaphylaxis. Developing a therapeutic plan for the acute therapy of anaphylaxis is important. Prompt recognition with appropriate and aggressive therapy can help avoid a disastrous outcome.
