Abstract
Anaphylaxis to Cefazolin in the Second Trimester: A Case Report
Daoud BE, He L, Miller R , Chang CLN and Meng ML
Anaphylactic reactions during pregnancy are uncommon and can trigger maternal
hypotension. These hemodynamic changes increase both maternal and fetal
morbidity and mortality as emergent cesarean delivery is often necessary due to
worsening fetal status. Only a handful of case reports describe perioperative and
intraoperative management of anaphylaxis in pregnancy. We present a patient
in her second trimester with twin-twin transfusion syndrome who experienced
anaphylaxis to cefazolin prior to the start of a fetoscopic laser procedure for
photocoagulation of pathological placental anastomoses.
