1- versus 2- and 3-day diagnostic patch testing.

Abstract

One inconvenience of the routine patch test technique is the 2-day patch wear. Adjusting the routine patch test technique to a shorter allergen exposure would be more comfortable for the patient. Studies define this feasibility; the available data do not permit a definite answer as to the suitability of 1-day application. An idealized protocol suitable for resolving this issue is presented.

Perioperative care of patients with latex allergy.

Initially identified in the pediatric population, latex allergy and sensitivity now are seen at increasingly higher rates in all age groups, and are especially prevalent in health care workers. Knowledge about the sources of latex in the environment, the signs and symptoms seen in latex sensitivity and allergic reaction, risk factors for sensitivity, and how to assess patients and those working in the health care profession for possible latex sensitivity is important for perioperative nurses.
