Welcome to the EAACI Master Class on Perioperative Hypersensitivity, taking place in Verona, Italy, from 31 March to 02 April 2020!


Educational Aims

Participants will gain a contemporary understanding of the clinical presentation, common causes and diagnostic work-up of patients referred for the investigation of perioperative hypersensitivity. The Master Class faculty will focus on the importance of collaboration between allergists/immunologists and anesthesiologists and will include absolute experts in the field presenting the latest evidence and their own practical experiences.


Expected learning outcomes

This Master Class will allow the attendees to adopt a more focused and accurate approach to the investigation of patients who present with suspected perioperative hypersensitivity. Knowledge gained will therefore lead to the safer management of such patients. This Master Class will facilitate international exchange of clinical experience and encourage collaboration between allergists/immunologists and anaesthesiologists.


Target Audience

This Master Class is intended primarily for clinicians (Allergists/immunologists, Anesthesiologists) with some experience in investigating patients with perioperative hypersensitivity, who want to expand their knowledge and improve their management of these complicated patients. Junior Members' participation will also be encouraged.
There is a lot of international focus on perioperative hypersensitivity due to the EAACI task force and position paper on perioperative hypersensitivity and a recent worldwide collaboration between experts in both allergy and anaesthesiology.


We look forward to welcoming you in Verona, Italy!
