Description
Maho Suyama and colleagues report a severe allergic reaction that struck during general anesthesia without any of the usual skin signs. Their 2026 case involves a 29-year-old man set for jaw fracture repair. About fifteen minutes after anesthesia began, his oxygen level eased downward while his blood pressure dropped and his heart raced, yet his skin showed nothing.
A shot of epinephrine turned his condition around quickly. Blood tests later found raised levels of tryptase and histamine, two markers that support the diagnosis of anaphylaxis. The authors stress how hard such a reaction is to spot under anesthesia, since low oxygen and falling pressure have many other causes. Ruling out those causes fast while giving epinephrine early is the core of good care, they argue. Follow-up allergy testing, patient teaching, and a ready response plan at each unit help guard against a repeat event.
