Study of the Role of Hemostasis in Perioperative Anaphylaxis

Study of the Role of Hemostasis in Perioperative Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening complication during the perioperative period. Perioperative anaphylaxis is still associated with a significant mortality despite quick and efficient management using epinephrine, the mainstay of acute treatment. Experimental data and few case reports are suggesting that hemostasis, and more precisely platelets, could play a role in anaphylaxis. Our main hypothesis is that activation of the hemostatic system contributes to the severity of the reaction
