medicine Flashcards
treatment of anaphylactic shock
- Patient is flat with his legs raised
- Adrenaline injection SC or IM (0.5-1mg)
- Hydrocortisone
- Oxygen administration
- Call ambulance
Treatment of angioedema.
- Remove the cause
- Adrenaline (0.5-1mg) or tracheotomy
- Less severe attacks: antihistamines
treatment of hay fever
- Antihistamines
2. steroids in refractory cases
clinical manifestations of hay fever
- Itching of nose and watery nasal discharge
- Parpxysms of sneezing and coughing
- Conjunctival irritation and lacrimation
clinical manifestations of angioedema
- edema may begin in less than 30 mins and last up to several days (face, lips, circuoral, around the eyes, chin, tongue, nasopharynx)
treatment of asthma
- stop the dental procedure
- loosen tight clothes
- enure airy and cool
- self-medication
- patient is upright

(leukotriene)
- Effect of Histamine Release:
- Increased secretions from gastric, bronchial and nasal mucosa.
- Vasodilatation &increased vascular permeability and edema
- Contraction of smooth muscle fibers (bronchi and GIT).

in anaphylactic shock First signs appear
on skin
Free Ag binds to IgE on mast cells and cause release of histamine and other molecules
Type I
- Serum sickness
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Lupus Erythematosus
- Stomatitis medicamatosa
Type III
- Anaphylactic shock
- Urticaria,
- Asthma
- Hay fever
- Angioedema
Type I
IgM, IgG, complement, neutrophils
Type III
IgE and Mast cells
Type I
- Contact dermatitis
- Contact stomatitis
- Lichenoid reaction
Type IV
Free IgG or IgM Ab binds to Ag on cell membranes to cause complement activation, cell damage or phagocytosis
Type II
Ag-Ab complexes may lead to activation of complement and phagocytosis attraction leading to tissue damage as vasculitis and arthritis
Type III
IgE and Mast cells
Type I
