Anaphylactic reactions during cardiac surgery may present as acute cardiopulmonary dysfunction and require prompt and aggressive therapy. Recognition, with appropriate therapeutic intervention, is essential to prevent the life-threatening complications associated with perioperative anaphylaxis. Clinically, the life-threatening reactions to protamine seen following CPB appear to represent anaphylaxis-mediated events due to IgE, IgG and component activation.
