Management of Anaphylaxis - Interventions Epinephrine - Bolus, Infusion, Nebulized Posture O2 Fluids Albuterol H1-Antihistamines, H2-Antihistamines Glucocorticoids Additional Vasopressor Glucagon Sugammadex Methylene blue Tranexamic acid ECMO #anaphylaxis #management #treatment #Interventions #allergy

Clinical manifestations of anaphylaxis. Neurological (<15%): Dizziness, syncope, seizures, Confusion, impending doom. headache Angioedema: Lips, tongue, orbit, larynx, intestines, extremities Skin (Skin and Mucosa 80-90%): Urticaria, flushing erythema, pruritus Cardiovascular (50%): Myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, hypovolemia, hypotension, cardiac arrest, Kounis syndrome Lungs and airway (60-70%): Rhinitis, oropharyngeal edema, stridor, dyspnea, cough/wheezing, respiratory arrest GI (>40%): Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal edema, abdominal pain and fecal incontinence Genitourinary (<10%): Scrotal edema, uterine cramps, vaginal bleeding and urinary incontinence #anaphylaxis #signs #symptoms #diagnosis #criteria #allergy
