Perioperative Anaphylaxis – Is this really happening?

May 14, 2025

8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Recognition and management of peri-operative anaphylaxis can be challenging. Is it anaphylaxis? Or is it a monitoring issue? A cardiac event? Or just vagal?  In this session, the pathophysiology, triggers, clinical features which heighten the possibility of anaphylaxis, as well as the essentials to managing anaphylaxis will be discussed.  

Please join the author of our latest CPD Module - Perioperative Anaphylaxis: An update on pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management, Dr Martin Ma, in discussing this topic. 

After participating in this activity, you will be able to:
1.  Recognize the clinical features of anaphylaxis to facilitate a prompt diagnosis.
2.  Implement a prioritized treatment plan for anaphylaxis.
3.  Initiate appropriate testing, counselling, and referral to an allergy specialist
