Hypersensitivity to Neuromuscular Blocking Agents: Can Skin Tests Give the Green Light for Re-Exposure?

Perioperative hypersensitivity (POH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition with costly consequences of diagnostic error. All exposures in the perioperative setting may potentially be the cause of a hypersensitivity reaction, but in different countries, neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) have traditionally been reported to be implicated most commonly.1Mertes P.M.
