Hypotension on induction: Anaphylaxis or cardiac failure?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Identification of the cause of hypotension after induction of anesthesia is critical as treatment differs. We describe a case of anaphylaxis in a patient with severe cardiac disease, diagnosed by echocardiography and successfully treated with immediate cardiovascular resuscitation, epinephrine, vasopressors and antihistamines.
