Alleviated Anaphylactic Reaction to Muscle Relaxants Due to Preoperative Administration of Corticosteroids

Anaphylactic reaction during general anaesthesia represents a rare event in clinical practice with a possible fatal outcome.We present a case of a female patient with no prior history of allergic reactions to rocuronium.Shortly after rocuronium administration, she developed the following signs: tachycardia, low blood pressure and bronchospasm.Skin rash and peripheral signs were absent, probably due to previous premedication.Events like this could be potentially fatal if not recognized and treated in time.
