Method: All patients who had GA allergy testing at RMH between 1 July 2015 and 22 May 2017 were identified and a retrospective audit was completed. GA skin testing panels were standardised and comprised of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) (suxamethonium, rocuronium, vecuronium, pancuronium, atracurium, cisatracurium), sedatives (propofol, midazolam), opiates (morphine, fentanyl, alfentanil, remifentanil), cefazolin, latex and chlorhexidine. If patients had not been exposed to a class of drug peri-operatively, the entire class was excluded from testing. All drugs were tested at recommended maximum non-irritant concentrations.
