A specific antihistaminic premedication anti H1 anti H2 for pediatric anesthesia.
The danger of the anaphylactoid reactions which occur during pediatric general anesthesia leads the authors to use a specific antihistaminic premedication. The association of cimetidine and hydroxizine has been proved to be adequate to avoid systemic histamine adverse effects and to diminish gastric secretion in pediatric anesthesia. The authors recommend oral administration.
