Abstract

Anesthesia urgencies are critical events that demand rapid and precise interventions to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes. This article comprehensively explores the diverse landscape of anesthesia urgencies, categorizing them into hemodynamic instability, respiratory compromise, anaphylaxis and allergies, neurological emergencies, and malignant hyperthermia. Strategies for immediate response protocols, tailored management, and vigilant monitoring are elucidated, emphasizing the critical role of teamwork and preparedness. The significance of patient-related factors, anesthetic agent selection, monitoring techniques, and preoperative assessment is highlighted in preventing urgencies.
