Abstract
A patient undergoing anaesthesia for coronary artery bypass surgery developed a probable anaphylactic reaction to succinylated gelatin (Gelofusine). The principal feature of the reaction was one of cardiovascular depression. An infusion of the angiotensin analogue, angiotensinamide was successful in the treatment of the reaction and allowed completion of the surgery.
