[A report and first-aid treatment of anaphylactic shock with respiratory circulation arrest due to lidocaine].
This paper reports the emergency treatment of a six-year old girl who received injection of lidocaine for local anaesthesia and immediately had anaphylactic shock accompanied by respiratory circulation arrest. Although it is rare that lidocaine causes hypersensitive reaction, it is still possible that immediate hypersensitivity reaction can happen, even accompanied with respiratory circulation arrest that may result in death. If a patient is hypersensitive to procaine or is easily allergic, she or he must be given a dine anaphylaxis test to prevent an accident. The key of a successful emergency treatment is a prompt and correct diagnosis and first-aid treatment. The first drug chosen for the treatment is adrenaline.
