Abstract

Patients with multiple drug allergies (MDA) can be in danger during anesthesia due to their possibility of anaphylaxis. Perioperative anaphylaxis can occur more frequently in patients with any kind of allergichistory. The physiological changes during pregnancy, the existence of the fetus itself, and consequent restrictions on drug use including anesthetics make anesthetic management for pregnant women with MDA more difficult than that for other patients. Appropriate anesthetic strategy based on detailed history taking, allergological evaluations and cooperation between surgeon and anesthesiologist are essential to performing successful anesthesia. To the best of our knowledge, although there have been some cases about anesthetic management in patients with MDA, there is no reported case about surgical anesthesia for Cesarean section in a pregnant woman with MDA. Here, we present a pregnant woman with MDA who showed a positive response to most of anesthetics and analgesics in the intradermal skin test, successfully managed with an anesthetic strategy using volatile induction and maintenance anesthesia (VIMA) for Cesarean section.
