[Anaphylactic reactions observed with anesthetics and adjuvants]
Abstract
The author reports an inquiry concerning 66 patients who all had an anaphylactoid reaction. The hour of onset, the type of reaction, (skin, bronchial or systemic), their association, the drugs responsible, and the diagnostic difficulties are reviewed. In this respect, in relation to the results of the above inquiry and the data in the literature, the skin and bronchial reactions are described, and the signs of anaphylactic shock recalled. The substances possible are then reviewed with the possible correlation between the type of accident and the drug responsible. Finally the role of macromolecules is discussed.
