The eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLAs) is an anesthetic cream frequently used by dermatologists for various aesthetic procedures on a daily basis. Although side effects of EMLA are usually mild local skin reactions, rare complications such as methemoglobinemia, central nervous system toxicity, and cardiotoxicity can occur. Herein, we are reporting a case of anaphylactic shock to topical application of EMLA.
局部麻醉药的共熔混合物(EMLA)是一种麻醉乳膏,皮肤科医生每天在各种美容手术中经常使用。虽然EMLA的副作用通常是轻微的局部皮肤反应,但也可能发生罕见的并发症,如高铁血红蛋白血症、中枢神经系统毒性和心脏毒性。在此,我们报告一例因局部应用EMLA引起过敏性休克的病例。
