Allergic to the OR: Anaphylaxis Under Anesthesia

This lecture explores the unique challenges of recognizing and managing anaphylaxis during anesthesia, where classic symptoms may be masked or altered. Attendees will learn to identify high-risk agents, differentiate anaphylaxis from other intraoperative events, and implement rapid, evidence-based treatment protocols. Emphasis is placed on early recognition, epinephrine dosing, team communication, and post-crisis investigation to ensure patient safety and preparedness for future encounters.
