A

Blood vessels dilate (Causing a fall in blood pressure)

Blood capillary walls become ‘leaky’ (Causing a fall in blood volume)

The strength of the heart’s contractions weaken (Causing a fall in blood pressure)

19
Q

Anaphylaxis - what are the most common reactions to?

A
  1. Prescribed drugs
  2. Insect stings
  3. Nuts or seafood
20
Q

In an anaphylactic reaction, the immune cells release massive quantities of a chemical called histamine. This causes a rash and itching, but in massive quantities can also be life threatening. Why?

A

Can cause life threatening airway, breathing or circulation problems.

Airway - It can make blood capillaries ‘leak’ causing swelling that can block the airway.

Breathing - it can constrict the wind pipes in the lungs, just like an asthma attack

Circulation - it can make blood vessels dilate to three times their usual size, resulting in a life-threatening fall in blood pressure. Fluid loss from leaking capillaries will make this even worse. If this happens the casualty must lie down. Standing or sitting up could result in such a lack of blood to the heart that it stops instantly.
