After 6 months he was again scheduled for surgery and at that time no adverse reaction was revealed after IV infusion for 15 minutes but suddenly developed severe respiratory distress and cardiac arrest and diagnosed as anaphylactic reaction which was managed with inj. adrenaline, cardiac massage, intubation & ventilation with 100% O2.
