Nice overview: A few tips as a nursing professor and emergency nurse: The word "patent" is pronounced "pay-tint." Initial treatment is Epinephrine 1: 1000 concentration SQ or IM. Although an epinephrine drip might be necessary, epi is never given IV push except in cardiac arrest. Also, assure a large bore IV access (x 2 sites) and NS or LR is given first to treat hypotenstion BEFORE pressors. ("fill the tank before you squeeze the tank" is the saying). I've never heard of getting a CT to diagnose anaphylactic shock--it's usually pretty obvious based on history and presentation--one of the most terrifying patients you'll ever treat. Finally, because intubation may not be doable, a cricothyroidotomy kit ("trach kit) should be on hand. Thanks

That was very helpful, simple yet effective. I appreciate the clear pronounciation and tone for non native speakers.

Lol who's taking the time to take history and order xrays when someone presents with anaphylactic shock. Adrenaline and fluids asap.

What’s with all the naysayers in the comments? This seems very text book for students. Is it like this in the real world? Probably not.
Just enjoy the dang content for people trying to pass the NCLEX. If you don’t like the content, make your own.

I really appreciate the video. In 2:00 the woman is wearing a scarf so i'll assume she's muslim, so don't draw muslims with sleeveless shirt, it's misleading, draw them at least with sleeve shirt or a hijab all together, thank you!
