[Massive histamine liberation. Recovery]
Abstract
The case of a patient is described, in whom the clinical aspect of massive liberation of histamine occured during general anesthesia, including bronchospasm, hypotension, generalized congestion of the skin. The changes could be reversed and the surgical intervention was continued. The course of the operation made necessary a prolongation of anesthesia, and re-administration of all the substances which had been included in the procedure. However, the following administration of these substances was not followed by a new liberation of histamine. Short comments are made in connection with the theoretical aspects of this evolution.
