Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions During Anesthesia Flashcards
Anaphylaxis
Reproducible adverse reaction to extrinsic substance mediated by immune system
Type 1 (acute)
Atopy, urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis
Type II (cytotoxic)
Hemolytic transfusion rx, HIT
Type III (immune complex)
Serum sickness
Type IV (delayed)
Contact dermatitis (red weepy skin, Pruriti) erythema, crack, and fissures, pruritis or pain
Anaphylaxis
a severe, life-threatening, generalized or systemic hypersensitivity reaction, primarily mediated by type E immunoglobulins.?
Anaphylaxis
Type 1, incidence 1:2,500-20,000, Mortality 6%, brain damage 2%
Anaphylaxis (clinical features)
rapid onset, prior exposure, ab-ag rxn, affects CV,Pulmonary, and cutaneous sys, circulatory collapse
Grade 1
Cutaneous mucus signs: erythema, urticaria, angiodema
Grade 2
Moderate multi-visceral: grade 1+/- HypoTN, tachycardia. Dyspnea, GI issues
Grade 3
Life threatening mono-multivisceral: CV collapse, tachy/bradycardia, +/- dyrrthmias, bronchospasm, cutaneous mucous, and GI disturbances
Grade 4
Cardiac arrest
Anaphylaxis
Patients sensitivity and route of admin determine severity. IV and mucous membrane exposure fastest and most sever rx
Anaphylaxis (risk factors)
Hx univestigated life threatening event, mastocytosis, allergy to an anesthesia drug, latex allergies inc risk, hx of atopy
Mechanism
Exposure to ag, production of spscfc IgE ab, ab fix to mast cell or basophils, reexposure bing to ab and cross linking, release of chemical mediators
productos of human mast cells
Granule proteins, cytokines, leukotrines, chemokines
Important mediators
Histamines, LK, PG
Histamines
Inc cap perm, Peripheral vasodilation, Bronchoconstriction
Leukotrienes (LK)
Bronchconstriction, inc cap perm, negative ionotropy
Prostaglandins (PG)
Bronchconstriction, vasodilations
Anaphylactoid
Non IgE anaphylaxis
Anaphylactoid (clinical)
Direct action on mast cells, MASSIVE release of histamine, may occur on 1st exposure, clinically indistinguishable, life thret, PREDISPOSITION: pregnancy,youth, atopy
