Perioperative anaphylaxis is a serious entity with high morbidity and mortality. Perioperative anaphylaxis can be caused by any of the multitude of medications and substances used in anesthesia and surgery, and the most common causes include neuromuscular blocking agents, antibiotics, antiseptics, latex, and dyes. The differential diagnosis of perioperative anaphylaxis is wide from both an immunologic and a nonimmunologic standpoint.

In this report, we present a unique and rare case of an intraoperative anaphylactic shock leading to cardiac arrest during the SpaceOAR Vue™ hydrogel procedure in a 70-year-old patient undergoing External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) for advanced localized prostate cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first urologic case report documenting this adverse reaction associated with the placement of the SpaceOAR Vue product. We discuss the possible culprits, including the hydrogel's polyethylene glycol (PEG) and iodine content, perioperative antibiotics, and local lidocaine anesthetic, and propose relevant considerations for clinicians administering rectal hydrogel spacers.

Clinical diagnosis of intraoperative transfusion anaphylaxis using clinical symptoms is challenging and should be made carefully, as an incorrect clinical diagnosis can exacerbate surgical bleeding secondary to stopping a clinically indicated blood transfusion. The timing of onset of anaphylaxis to start of transfusion may be the key to correctly diagnosing intraoperative transfusion anaphylaxis clinically. However, the reliability of this measure remains unknown.
