乳膠過敏(Latex Allergy)病人若接觸乳膠製品,可能引發輕微過敏反應甚至嚴重的過敏性休克(Anaphylactic shock)。醫療耗材中,手套是乳膠成分最常見的來源。因此,護理師需確保所有與病人接觸的醫療耗材均為無乳膠材質(如 Nitrile 手套)。同時,對於有過敏史的病人,應在病歷上註記並設置警示,確保跨專業團隊均知曉此項禁忌。
Exposure to latex products in a client with a latex allergy can trigger reactions ranging from mild hypersensitivity to severe anaphylactic shock. Among medical supplies, gloves are the most common source of latex. The nurse must therefore ensure that all medical supplies coming into contact with the client are latex-free (for example, nitrile gloves). In addition, for any client with a history of allergy the chart should be flagged and an alert posted so that the entire interprofessional team is aware of this contraindication.
