 Abstract
 PDF
- Histamine type 2 (H2) receptor antagonists are widely used for stress ulcer prophylaxis in critical and postoperative care. Though ranitidine is one of the most commonly used H2 receptor antagonists, with a low incidence of adverse reactions, a few anaphylactic reactions associated with ranitidine have been reported. This report describes 2 additional cases of anaphylaxis induced by ranitidine used for stress ulcer prophylaxis.

Abstract
PDF
- Acute airway obstruction after anterior cervical surgery is rare, but does occur. Airway obstruction due to prevertebral soft tissue swelling is unpredictable, but potentially lethal. We managed a 67-year-old male who developed acute airway obstruction caused by marked prevertebral soft tissue swelling on the first day after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at the C4-C5 level.
