Effect of general anesthesia and orthopedic surgery on serum tryptase
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Mast cell tryptase is used clinically in the evaluation of anaphylaxis during anesthesia, because symptoms and signs of anaphylaxis are often masked by the effect of anesthesia. No larger studies have examined whether surgery and anesthesia affect serum tryptase. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of anesthesia and surgery on serum tryptase in the absence of anaphylaxis.
