57
Appropriate in any emergency involving a decrease in brain perfusion.
Administering O2
58
Positioning of someone with pre-syncope.
Lay flat on back with legs above heart level to allow blood flow to the brain.
59
Name the medical eergency: - Decrease in HR and BP - Decreased blood flow to the brain, and loss of consciousness - Breathing becomes irregular, pupils dilate, and convulsive movements may be noted. - Muscles relax and airway may become obstructed.
Syncope
60
Drug of choice to increase HR.
ATROPINE
61
What type of hypersensitivity reaction is immediate?
Type I

63
An anaphylactic reaction is cause by the release of this.
Histamine
64
This causes constriction of bronchial smooth muscle that produces respiratory distress.
Anaphylaxis
65
Principle recognizable sign of an allergic reaction.

66
What do you give if it's a SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION?
Epinephrine (0.01 mg/kg to max initial dose of 0.3 mg).
67
Epinephrine physiologically counteracts the effects of what?
Histamine
