A

turn off anesthetic drugs (not the bronchodilator you want especially if hypotension is involved)

they also interfere with the body compensatory response to CV collapse

104

A

halothane sensitizes the myocardium to EPI

105
Q

why do we give fluids during an anaphylactic response-

25-50ml/kg given if hypotension persists.

COLLOID NOT PROVEN MORE EFFECTIVE IN ANAPHYLATIC SHOCK

108
Q

A

may require TEE for rapid assessment of intraventricular volume and ventricular function assessment

109
Q

if we think the patient will have an allergic reaction what do we give

A

Pretreatment of antihistamines before giving drugs known to release histamine does not inhibit histamine release, but rather compete with histamine at the receptor and may attenuate decreases in SVR.

A

C5a: non IgE mediated reaction

119

A

C3a and C5a are the anaphylatoxins.

Immunologic: antibody mediated or “the classic pathway”

Non-immunologic: alternative to the classic pathway

123
Q

A

c3 c5

124
Q

Peptide Mediators of Anaphylaxis

A

Factors are released from mast cells and basophils that cause granulocyte migration (chemotaxis) and collect at the site of the inflammatory stimulus
Eosinophil (eosinophilic chemotactic factor) in acute allergic response is unclear
Eosinophils release enzymes that can inactivate histamine and leukotrienes
Neutrophilic chemotactic factor is release as well and may be responsible for the recurrent manifestations of anaphylaxis

125
Q

Arachidonic Acid Metabolites

A

Arachidonic Acid Metabolites
Leukotrienes and prostaglandins are both synthesized after mast cell activation from arachidonic acid metabolism of phospholipid cell membranes through either lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase pathways
Classic slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis is a combination of leukotrienes C4, D4, E4.
Leukotrienes: produces bronchoconstriction, increased capillary permeability, vasodilation, coronary vasoconstriction, any myocardial depression
Prostaglandins : potent mast cell mediators. Produces vasodilation, bronchospasm, pulmonary hypertension, and increased capillary permeability
Prostaglandin D2: major metabolite of plasma levels of thromboxane B2 which is a metabolite of thromboxane A2

126
Q

recognition of anaphylaxis

what is onset?

what are the reactions expected?

A

Onset and severity of reaction r/t the mediator’s specific end-organ effect

An antigenic challenge in a sensitized patient usually produces immediate clinical manifestation of anaphylaxis BUT the onset may be delayed 2-20 minutes.

Reactions may range from minor clinical changes to full blown syndrome leading to death
