Summary
You are called to the MRI suite to see a 20-year-old female who is undergoing an MRI of her cervical spine with and without contrast dye. Anesthesia was called secondary to the patient becoming unresponsive and difficult to ventilate. The nurse reports a rash on the patient’s arm. Vital signs include blood pressure 60/40 mm Hg and heart rate 110 beats/min. Auscultation of the lungs is significant for bilateral wheezing. What is the most likely cause? How would you treat this?
