[Predictive value of the allergologic profile in anesthesia and resuscitation]

The allergic history to anaesthetics in general and especially to synthetic myorelaxants, poses few etiological diagnostic problems in practice, because of on one hand the excellent collaboration between Anesthetists and Allergologists in the CHU at Angers and on the other because of the great sensitivity of skin testing. Why then have a predictive history for myorelaxants? The results of a study at the CHU at Angers on 15 patients showed sensitivity to anaesthetics in general (myorelaxants 86%, Diprivan) and/or an antibiotic, latex were very encouraging. One 15 new general anaesthetics a single minor incident was seen: the 15 patients had benefited from a predictive history.
