Takashi Imazawa et al .: 1 case that caused anaphylactic shock after using chlorhexidine gluconate. Nikkei journal, 23; 582-588, 2003
When I was operating with local anesthesia, and I disinfected the wound with 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate before closing, my heart rate decreased after 20-30 seconds, blood pressure could not be measured, and respiratory arrest occurred. This report reports that spontaneous breathing was recognized after 3 minutes, and consciousness returned to the patient after breathing assistance with ambu bag and oxygen administration. And it is written as follows.
Chlorhexidine gluconate is used in commercial toothpastes, ointments, medicated creams, and gargles, so this case may have been sensitized by some drug in the past, and this anaphylaxis appears to have occurred. It is.
There have been reports of allergic cases such as anaphylactic shock in 21 cases in the past 32 years in Japan.
In 1980, the Ministry of Health and Welfare issued information that oxidol should not be used in the oral cavity due to carcinogenic problems, but it is still used in many institutions. Furthermore, chlorhexidine gluconate, which is prohibited for use in the mucous membrane as a pharmaceutical, has been approved for use in the mucous membrane as a quasi-drug, and has recently been encouraged for use in daily life from the viewpoint of preventive dentistry.
