Some of the possible consequences of anesthesia-related allergies in children are adverse effects while undergoing a certain procedure. This study also critically discusses the current detection and evaluation methods of anesthesia medication allergies in pediatric patients, particularly focusing on pharmaceutical interventions. Based on the analysis of scientific publications and the determination of knowledge gaps, this research intends to outline several more effective tactics for assessing allergy risks to enhance patient safety. The work adopted a research method that combines qualitative and quantitative data collected from health records and healthcare officials. The appraisal of current literature demonstrates variable and suboptimal standards of practice and undersupply of investigations in pediatric populations, causing a wide divergence of allergy evaluations. For instance, skin prick test sensitivities differ, and their ability to predict clinical events is in doubt; serum-specific IgE tests also show differences in sensitivities. Doctors and nurses raise issues of ambiguous diagnostic features, reporting difficulties, and stress on proper guidelines and procedures concerning the results’ explanation and reviewing of the patient’s history. Therefore, the availability of better standardized operational diagnostic norms is perceived to be conducive to corresponding standardized diagnostic standard operating procedures that will enable consistent and accurate assessment of allergies in pediatric populations for this study. This way, our research can present a comprehensive analysis of the current practices utilized in the patient safety domain, along with specific recommendations on how the situation regarding allergy assessment to anesthesia among pediatric patients could be enhanced.
