	Encyclopedia: Allergic reactions during anaesthesia
		The frequency of life-threatening anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions occurring during anaesthesia has been estimated to be between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 25,000 anaesthetic procedures, with the neuromuscular blockers being involved in 80% of cases.
		During anaesthesia, the clinical features of an allergic reaction are often masked.
		Crawford Williamson Long was the first to use anaesthesia during an operation; giving it to a boy before excising a cyst from his neck, however, he did not publisize this information until later.

		Determining the incidence of anaphylactic reactions during anesthesia or the intraoperative and postoperative periods is difficult because they are often attributed to toxic, pharmacologic, or anesthetic effects rather than allergy.
		Reactions caused by mast cell–mediator release can be confused with other causes of hypotension or increased resistance to airflow, such as myocardial infarction; cardiac dysrhythmia; drug overdose; pulmonary embolus; irritant-induced bronchospasm; misplaced, blocked, or kinked endotracheal tube; pulmonary edema; aspiration of gastric contents or foreign body; seizure disorder; hypoglycemia; and stroke.
		Reactions were attributed to the solubilizing agent, cremophor EL (polyoxyethylated castor oil), by means of complement activation and subsequent mast cell degranulation.
