During the past five years, systemic IgE-mediated anaphylactic reactions to latex have been reported more frequently, and a significant proportion of these anaphylactic reactions have occurred intraoperatively. Anaphylactic reactions under general anesthesia occur without warning, and early signs often are obscured by surgical drapes. Therefore, early recognition of symptoms and prevention are essential to avoid catastrophic results. Orthopaedic surgeons must be aware of the risk, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of latex anaphylaxis. Patients at risk, testing, and prevention are discussed in this review. Additionally, a classification system and the corresponding regimen for prophylaxis that is currently being used at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is described.
