Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening complication during the perioperative period. Perioperative anaphylaxis is still associated with a significant mortality despite quick and efficient management using epinephrine, the mainstay of acute treatment.

Our main hypothesis is that activation of the hemostatic system contributes to the severity of the reaction
