Abstract:
Churg-Strauss syndrome or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitits (EGPA) is a rare multisystem disorder. A case of anaphylactic shock after induction of anesthesia, as the initial clinical presentation of Churg-Strauss syndrome in a 15-year-old girl is reported. It is extremely rare to see pediatric patients with previous perioperative anaphylaxis receiving future anesthesia; a multidisciplinary approach including allergist, rheumatologist, anesthesiologist, and surgeon is necessary in order to provide a better future anesthetic plan.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
