What is the first response to suspected intraoperative anaphylaxis?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

A. Stop suspected trigger and resuscitate with adrenaline

Suspected perioperative anaphylaxis requires immediate cessation of likely triggers, airway and circulation support, adrenaline, fluids, and specialist follow-up.

Option by option

  • A. Stop suspected trigger and resuscitate with adrenaline (correct)

    Correct: trigger cessation and resuscitation are urgent.

  • B. Wait for skin testing before treatment
