Palmerston North Hospital operating theatre.
The MidCentral Health Anaesthetic Allergy Testing Referral Form (77KB - PDF) is available for clinicians to use. Please send completed form to:
Department of Anaesthesia, Palmerston North Hospital
Please Note:
The Department of Anaesthesia only performs skin testing for anaesthetic drugs and possible theatre allergens in the event there has been a documented suspected anaphylactic reaction. The spectrum of possible allergens tested in our clinic includes IV anaesthetics, some opioids, all muscle relaxants, local anaesthetics, latex, colloid and chlorhexidine.
A suitable immunology department should be sought for the testing of minor reactions and other allergens.
