Using Epinephrine in Anaphylaxis

Показать описание

Anaphylaxis is a allergic reaction that causes symptoms in two or more body systems. As an EMT or Paramedic you want to treat anaphylaxis as early as possible before the patient enters anaphylactic shock. Some key symptoms and signs to watch for include: Hives, stridor, wheezing, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing.

Be great,

Evan, The Paramedic Coach

Epinephrine being an identical compound to adrenaline is also a vasoconstrictor. Which causes your blood vessels to constrict. The reason behind that is because when an allergic reaction occurs due to a food allergy or bee/wasp venom, there is an extreme drop in blood pressure, which can also kill you. It works in both ways.

Really? Thanks for the info man your awesome. I was always curious why they immediately give adrenaline and how it stops the allergic reaction.

Let's say we have a patient who develops Anaphylaxis quite quickly after a bee sting on the tongue or arm. First, do we remove the stinger (remove the allergen) or give adrenaline? What is the priority?

Epinephrine aka epi pens is adrenaline and it acts as a vasoconstrictor improving oxygen via blood flow and secondary as a bronchodilator improving oxygen intake

What dose? How often? If patient arrest and the rythm is VF or pVT, how to treat considering those shockable rythms?
