A few years a go while starting an interscalene block, I found myself getting dizzy and SOB. I didn't really know what was up but a nurse caught it - she had me disglove and wash my hands right away. Turns out, I developed a latex allergy. Now days the O.R.s are pretty much latex-free, but damed if the same thing didn't happen with nitrile. I have noticed when coming in contact with the standard blue drapes, I get the same sxs, so I have to handle them with the non-latex/non-nitrile gloves I use that most of the nursing staff uses. This sucks! I can do my work, but the O.R is currently sort of a minefield for me.
Anyone on here dealing with this stuff?
