| | Anaesthesia FAQ |
 | | Anaesthesia and surgery can affect all the systems of the body, therefore it is vitally important that the anaesthesiologist should be informed of all medical conditions you may have. | | | During some procedures the loss of blood is unavoidable, regardless the skills of the surgeon. | | | Anaesthesiologists are doctors who qualified in anaesthesia, intensive care and pain management. |

| | The Anaphylactic Reactions Source - Review Articles |
| | Reactions to drug additives/preservatives and muscle relaxants may be more frequently reported because these drugs are most often administered. | | | The incidence of anaphylactic reactions during surgery and in critically ill patients has been suggested to be increasing. | | | The increasing reported incidence of anaphylactic reactions to muscle relaxants appears to reflect their ability to either release histamine and/or produce false positive wheal and flare responses during skin testing. |

| | Experiences in anaesthesia during internship and residency were important for 19.1% of women and 14.1% of men, although very few mentioned undergraduate exposure. | | | As opioids affect respiratory frequency and also affect the processing of pain, we investigated if the breathing response to a painful stimulus could be different during anaesthesia using opioids. | | | Respiratory response to skin incision during anaesthesia with infusions of propofol and alfentanil. |

| | Medical Risks of Epidural Anesthesia During Childbirth |
| | Many women in our study used more than 200 mg of meperidine during the course of their labor, but only 3.4% of infants were given naloxone to reverse respiratory depression. | | | Another patient developed paralysis after epidural anesthesia probably due to the anterior spinal artery or central arteries being blocked during the epidural and leading to death of part of the spinal cord. | | | This is thought to occur from traction on the spinal cord. |

| | Drug-induced skin reactions |
| | Most drugs are associated with a spectrum of skin reactions, and the dictum "any rash, any drug" has been used. | | | The reaction is characterised by a burning, painful erythema within minutes of exposure to sunlight, either directly or through window panes. | | | Drug allergy is more common in the elderly and may be related to the development of an immune response or to increased exposure to drugs. |

| | PAIN CONTROL DURING LABOUR |
| | It is important for you to tell us of any medical illnesses, allergies or previous problems with anaesthetics that you have encountered so that the safest and best techniques can be provided for you. | | | Back ache is usualy related to stretching of the ligaments and muscles during pregnancy, labour and delivery rather than the epidural procedure. | | | It is important for you to tell the anaesthetist of any problems you may have had with local anaesthetics in the past so that allergy testing can be arranged, if necessary, prior to delivery. |

| | Drug Allergy, Asthma and Allergy |
| | Allergy to muscle relaxants, latex and chymopapain is more common in females, and patients with AIDS and cystic fibrosis are at greater risk of anaphylactic reactions to most drugs, but particularly to sulphonamides. | | | Penicillin allergy is a variable state and many patients will lose their anaphylactic sensitivity with time. | | | Recently anaphylactic reactions have been increasingly observed following exposure to ACE inhibitors, muscle relaxants and local anaesthetics. |

| | Emergency Medical Treatment of Anaphylactic Reactions |
| | Special attention should be paid to the condition of the skin, the pulse rate, the blood pressure, the upper airways, and auscultation of the chest. | | | This document provides a broad consensus on the appropriate emergency management of acute anaphylactic reactions by first medical responders and community nurses who are unlikely to have specialised knowledge. | | | It is anticipated, however, that patients who have had this first line treatment will be transferred rapidly to hospital where any necessary further measures can be taken. |

| | To minimise risk of anaphylactic reaction to latex, latex-free surgical gloves such as Elastyfree gloves, should be utilised during surgical procedures. | | | An Allergy specialist will be able to conduct a prick test to determine which type of allergy is presented. | | | Patients who suffer from latex allergy should take the following precautions: |

| | Data Sheet |
| | If serum levels of gentamicin are maintained within the therapeutic range, adverse reactions are not common. | | | However, as with other aminoglycosides, ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity can occur; the incidence of either being approximately less than 2%. | | | Gentamicin is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to gentamicin or who have experienced previous toxic reactions (ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity) resulting from aminoglycoside therapy. |

| | Allergic reactions during anaesthesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | However, skin testing can be misleading in giving false positive and false negative results. | | | The incidence of life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions occurring during anaesthesia is around one in 10,000 procedures. | | | Skin testing is often useful to identify potentially cross-reactive compounds and appropriate therapeutic alternatives. |

| | These drugs are generally administered by an anaesthetist (British English) (or anesthesiologist American English) in order to induce or maintain general anaesthesia to facilitate surgery. | | | A general anaesthetic drug is an anaesthetic (or anesthetic American English) drug that brings about a reversible loss of consciousness. | | | Many compounds have been used for inhalation anaesthesia, but only a few are still in widespread use. |
