  • Title: Refractory anaphylactic cardiac arrest after succinylcholine administration.
    Author: Baumann A, Studnicska D, Audibert G, Bondar A, Fuhrer Y, Carteaux JP, Mertes PM.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2009 Jul; 109(1):137-40. PubMed ID: 19535703.
    Abstract:
    Refractory shock from anaphylaxis can occur after induction of general anesthesia. We report two cases of fatal cardiac arrest with increased blood tryptase and immunoglobulin E values after succinylcholine administration. Tryptase and immunoglobulin E assays may help to identify anaphylactic reactions when cardiac arrest occurs at induction of anesthesia.
