Anaphylactic Shock (Anaphylaxis) Treatment, Nursing Interventions, Symptoms NCLEX

Anaphylactic shock nursing review of the treatment, signs and symptoms, nursing interventions for anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid shock reactions.

Anaphylactic shock occurs when an allergen causes the mast cells or basophils to release massive amount of histamine and other mediators system-wide. This leads to a decrease in tissue perfusion to cells.

The release of histamine causes vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, bronchoconstriction, increased gastric secretions and smooth muscle contraction.

Signs and symptoms of anaphylactic shock include: difficulty breathing, inability to speak, swelling, wheezing, runny nose, watery eyes, hypotension, increased heart rate, itchy skin, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting etc.

Treatment and nursing interventions for anaphylactic shock include: removing the allergen, administering epinephrine, placing the patient in the supine position with the leg elevated, education etc.

I started watching your videos since I was in nursing school. Now more than two years after I passed my NCLEX, I am still watching your videos. I feel that every time I watch, I always learn something new, reflecting it back to my practice and making me a better nurse. I truely appreciate your videos!

I don't know how anyone makes it through nursing school without your videos!

Hi Sarah! I've been listening to your videos and it really helped me understand and remember concepts in nursing. Yesterday I took my NCLEX (after failing the first time)it stopped at 75 questions. I didn't check if I passed or failed because my Board already emailed me my license. I am now an RN!

I'm a first responder, and I find your videos extremely helpful with my understanding what is actually happening with my patients. From an intervention standpoint for anaphylaxis, oftentimes there is little I can do short of airway management, O2, vitals, and patient positioning. But, it's reassuring to know what is actually happening, so if I'm first on scene, I can start doing something!
