Abstract

The process of diagnosing and treating one case of anaphylaxis induced by cefazolin in pregnant women was analyzed. The characteristics by which cefazolin induced anaphylaxis was studied with reference to literature. After 30 seconds of using cefazolin sodium for injection, a 27-year-old pregnant woman developed numbness in hands and feet, chest tightness, suffocation, dyspnea, vomiting, skin cyanosis and fetal heart rate depression. Cefazolin was immediately stopped, left lying position was given, dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection, epinephrine hydrochloride injection, fluid infusion and other symptomatic treatments were given. After symptomatic treatment, the patient's vital signs were stable. The patient was transferred to the department of critical care medicine for further treatment. Later, the patient was not using cefazolin. Two days later, the patient's and newborn's vital signs were stable. The use of cefazolin in pregnant womenn should be stopped immediately after the occurrence of anaphylaxis, and attention should be paid to keep the patient in the left lateral position, maintain uterine placental perfusion, monitoring of fetal heart rate, auxiliary oxygen and fluid resuscitation.
