Drug allergy to "Lidocaine" IgE total
What you need to know about the lidocaine test
Lidocaine sensitivity testing is a laboratory test that is performed to determine an individual's reaction to this anesthetic. It is performed to assess the risk of allergy and prevent adverse reactions before medical interventions.
The test is most often ordered before dental and surgical procedures that use lidocaine. It is especially important to test patients with a history of allergic reactions or a tendency to hypersensitivity.
Determining specific IgE to lidocaine allows you to accurately assess the likelihood of an allergic reaction and choose a safe anesthesia tactic in advance.
Indications for the procedure
The study is recommended in the following cases:
- preparation for dental or surgical procedures using lidocaine.
- history of allergic reactions to anesthetics.
- increased susceptibility to allergies or hypersensitivity.
Diagnostic value
Conducting the analysis allows:
- to detect an individual allergic reaction to lidocaine.
- reduce the risk of complications during medical procedures.
- ensure safe use of anesthetic or timely selection of an alternative.
Interpretation of results
- Negative result - no sensitivity detected, lidocaine can be used without an increased risk of allergy.
- A positive result means that sensitivity is confirmed, the use of lidocaine is not recommended, and another anesthetic should be selected.
Biomaterial and research methods
Venous blood is used for analysis. In some cases, skin tests may be performed under medical supervision upon doctor's prescription.
Who refers for research?
The analysis can be prescribed by:
- pediatrician
- pediatric allergist-immunologist
- pediatric dentist
- pediatric surgeon
