A

Grade III

(What to do: look for epi pen, call 911. etc.)

25

36
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What’s the severity Grade of most anaphylactic reactions?

A

Grade III

37
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What causes the significant hypotension and the the tachycardia that we see in Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions?

A

Significant Hypotension is from

Profound vasodilatation, leading to:

  • Decreased venous return*
  • Cardiac output falls*
  • Increased heart rate (in response)*
38
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What causes the edema that we see in Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions?

A

Acute changes in vascular permeability

Fluid moves into interstitial spaces

39
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

Along with the bronchospasm, what other pulmonary manifestation accompany Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions?

A

Bronchial hyperactivity

40
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What causes the bronchial edema that we see in Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions?

A

The mediators that are being released throughout the body

41
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What causes the alveolar hypoventilation that we see in Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions?

A

Bronchospasm closing the airway

Decreased gas exchange

42
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What causes the hypoxemia that we see in Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions? What does it lead to?

A

Hypoventilation

Decreased gas exchange

Leads to

Respiratory & metabolic acidosis

Decreased mixed venous O2 saturation

43
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What causes the acute respiratory distress that we see in Anaphylactic and Anaphylactoid Reactions? What does it lead to?

A

Huge V/Q mismatch

Decreased ventilation

44
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What’s the most frequent causes of death in anaphylactic reactions?

A

Laryngeal edema

(Gas exchange becomes so low that it leads to a global hypoxic event)

Cardiovascular collapse

45
Q

Anaphylactic vs Anaphylactoid Reactions

What are anesthesia most important interventions to prevent death from an anaphylactic reaction?

A

Protect the airway

Prevents the laryngeal edema

Treat cardiovascular collapse
