Summary Like adults, children taking beta‐blockers are at risk for serious hemodynamic instability in case of anaphylaxis. We report a case of severe bradycardia associated with anaphylactic shock after aprotinin in a beta‐blocked child, which was resistant to intravenous epinephrine and vascular filling but was treated successfully with isoproterenol.
