Anaphylaxis shock after coming out of an operation. is this normal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Post op anaphylaxis : Anaphylaxis after surgery is a very complex problem and can only be addressed properly by close collaboration between surgeon anesthesiologist and an allergist. It is definitely not normal and you should pursue a full evaluation as soon as possible. Some type of testing may be necessary to determine the cause and prevent future episodes. Possible causes include drug allergy or latex allergy.

Not normal: Anaphylaxis is uncommon. It is important for you to know exactly what happened so that you can inform healthcare providers who care for you in the future. Ask your surgeon or anesthesiologist for that information. Even if they are not certain which medication or material caused the reaction, they should be able to provide information that will be useful in the future.
