Study Notes
- Anaphylactic shock is an allergic reaction that occurs after a second exposure to an antigen.
- The body releases specific antibodies that bind to the antigen and cause the release of autacoids.
- Autacoids cause vascular and cellular changes that can vary in severity.
- Local symptoms include skin redness, hives, and itching.
- Generalized symptoms include laryngeal edema and bronchospasm, which can be life-threatening.
- Immediate cutaneous reaction can be treated with promethazine 50mg IM.
- Bronchospasm can be treated with epinephrine 1:1000 every 5-10 min until crisis ceases, followed by hydrocortisone 100mg and promethazine 50mg (IM or IV).
- Papules usually do not represent a threat to the patient's life.
- Treatment should be given until medical help arrives.
- Anaphylactic shock can be prevented by avoiding the allergen.
