[Anesthetic Management of a Patient who Developed Intraoperative Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia with Pulseless Electric Activity].

A 75-year-old woman was scheduled to undergo an ileus operation under general combined with epidural anesthesia. Preoperative electrocardiogram (ECG) showed first-degree atrioventricular block. The patient received no preoperative antiarrhythmic medication.

[Usefulness of the guidelines for prevention of perioperative anaphylaxis associated with latex allergy].

Background: Anaphylaxis associated with latex allergy is one of the fatal complications during anesthesia. To prevent this complication, we find out latex allergy and high-risk patients by preoperative interview and keep away not only latex allergic patients but high-risk patients from latex allergen in the operating room. In this study, we evaluated the cost-benefit efficiency of our guidelines.
