COLIN-HERNANDEZ, Josefina  and  TORRES-MATA, Lizbeth Yareli. Perioperative anaphylaxis in the pediatric patient. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2022, vol.45, n.3, pp.192-198.  Epub Sep 05, 2022. ISSN 0484-7903.  https://doi.org/10.35366/105593.

Due to the nature of allergic reactions and the difficulties in their diagnosis in the surgical setting, there are few publications on anaphylaxis in childhood and, when properly investigated, only a small part can be confirmed. The etiological agents mainly related to this entity in the perioperative period are neuromuscular blockers, latex and antibiotics. The diagnosis can be complicated and if it is not recognized in time, treatment is delayed or not administered properly, with fatal consequences. The following is a review of the literature on perioperative anaphylaxis, an entity that remains underestimated, underreported and thus also its diagnosis and timely treatment.

Keywords : Anaphylaxis; childhood; perioperative; anesthesia.
