Q

What is anaphylaxis

A

Multiorgan system reaction from chemical mediators of (mast cells) + (basophils)

18
Q

What is the cause, effector, the mediator in type 1 hypersensitivity?

A
  • allergen
  • IgE on mast cell
  • histamine
19
Q

What are the effects of histamine in anaphylaxis shock?

A
  • respiratory: bronchospasm & increased mucus secretion > SOB, tightness, wheeze, stridor, hoarseness, cough
  • GI: abdo pain, diarrhea
  • CNS: lightheadidness, loss of concisousness, headache, anxiety
  • vasodilation: Edema
  • ithciness\rash
20
Q

When to consider patient having anaphylaxis “symptoms wise”

A

Two systems are affected

  • SOB
  • diarrhea
21
Q

What are the most common in patient and outpatient causes of anaphylaxis?

A
  • food: outpatient

- drug: inpatient

22
Q

Name non-immunological causes of anaphylaxis?

A

Exercise

Direct mast cell degranulation

23
Q

What is the best treatment of anaphylaxis?

A

Prevention

  • avoid trigger
  • patient education
  • self administration of epinephrine
24
Q

What are the medications used in mild to moderate anaphylaxis?

A

Antihistamine (diphenhydramine)

25
Q

What medications to use in severe symptoms “trouble breathing or swallowing

A

Epinephrine “CVS\respiratory”

26
Q

ABCD in anaphylaxis should be along with:

A

Epinephrine

27
Q

In a patient with cardiac arrest who you’ve aldready adminsterd IV epinephrine and required another dose, what will you give

A

IM epinephrine

28
Q

What is the role of epinephrine

A

Vasoconstrictor (Alpha 1 agonist)

  • increase BP
  • decrease edema
29
Q

What is the second line for anaphylaxis?

A

Antihistamine (diphenhydramine)

30
Q

In a patient with cardiac arrest who you’ve aldready adminsterd IV epinephrine and required another dose, what will you give

A

IM epinephrine

31
Q

What is the second line for anaphylaxis?

A

Antihistamine (diphenhydramine)

32
Q

Why is rantidine usually raken? (H2 antagonist)

A

To enhance effect oH1 antagonist

33
Q

What to do for patient with respiratory distress in anaphylaxis?

A

Give b2 adrenergic agonist

“Salbutamol and slameterol”

34
Q

How to administer salbutamol in anaphylaxis?

A

5-10 puffs every 20 minutes until symptoms of wheezing or respiratory distress

35
Q

How to prevent the recurrance of anaphylactic symptoms after an initial remission?

A

Give corticosteroid

36
Q

What is biphasic anaphylaxis

A

Initial remission > 8 to 72 hours anaphylactic symptoms

37
Q

What is protracted anaphylaxis

A

Presistance of symptoms for hours\days despite treatment

38
Q

Who should get an epipen?

A

1- at risk of anaphylaxis
2- not responding to treatment
3- altered conciousness during allergic reaction
4- living in remote area

39
