Perioperative Anaphylaxis Guidelines at Our Hospital

Abstract

In the perioperative period, prompt recognition of anaphylaxis and correct treatment are necessary to ensure a good outcome. However, deciding whether to continue or discontinue surgery is difficult. Perioperative anaphylaxis guidelines do not provide clear information about when to proceed with or to abandon surgery. Patient safety will improve when anesthesiologists, nurses, and surgeons have a common view of coping with perioperative anaphylaxis. This report introduces the perioperative anaphylaxis guidelines used at our hospital.
