Review[Allergic reactions and pseudoallergies in surgical interventions with general anesthesia].
The Spanish Societies of Allergology and Anesthesiology have established a protocol for action for the performance of allergy tests for anesthesia. The protocol was published by the General Directorate of INSALUD, along with an informed consent form for general and loco-regional anesthesia, on 30 June 1994. Despite this, demands for care and requests for allergologic and anesthetic studies have increased. ⋯ Prevention should begin with the selection of less potent drugs, such as histamine releasing agents. Slow administration of drugs, as opposed to bolus administration, has been demonstrated to be more effective. The use of combined H1 and H2 antihistamines as a preanesthetic medication can significantly reduce tachycardia/bradycardia, hypotension, skin response, and even gastric pH changes induced by histamine release.

Comparative Study Clinical TrialExercise induced bronchospasm in asthmatic and non-asthmatic obese children.
to investigate the spirometric response to the exercise challenge in asthmatic and non-asthmatic obese children. ⋯ the non-asthmatic obese children had a significant decrease in FEV1, meanwhile the asthmatic obese children had a deeper decrease in FEV1 than the asthmatic non-obese children. Obesity ay be a conditioning factor for bronchial hyperreactivity to the exercise.
