Not My Type
This is the type of hypersensitivity reaction in anaphylaxis.
Type I
This is the dose contained in an epipen junior.
0.15mg
This is the most common PMHx risk factor for fatal anaphylaxis.
Asthma
This is the Immunoglobulin type associated with anaphylaxis.
IgE
Abrylden, a common antihistamine.
Benadryl
This is the type of shock caused by anaphylaxis.
Distributive
Epinephrine is generally redosed at this interval for anaphylaxis.
5 minutes (Consider Epi gtt)
This is the most common DRUG class leading to fatal anaphylaxis.
Penicillins
This is the diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis.
Two or more system involvement (skin, pulm, GI, or CV)
Inezetric, a second generation h1 blocker.
Cetirizine
Type IV hypersensitivities such as poison ivy reaction is mediated by this.
T-cells
This is the weight based peds dose for epinephrine in anaphylaxis.
0.01 mg/kg
This is the most common FOOD related cause of fatal anaphylaxis.
Peanuts
This is the cell who's degranulation is primarily responsible for the mechanism of anaphylaxis.
Mast Cells
Modrolules, used to provide longer term immunosuppression.
Solumedrol
This is an example of a type III hypersensitivity reaction.
PSGN, RA, SLE (Immune Complex Deposition)
This is the correct concentration of IM epi for anaphylaxis.
1:1000 (not cardiac arrest 1:10,000)
Anaphylaxis in pregnancy puts the patient at risk for this major pregnancy complication.
Preterm labor and/or fetal demise (Admit for prolonged obs and tocometric monitoring)
These are the THREE receptors that account for the mechanism of epinephrine in anaphylaxis.
a1, b1, b2
Bluetroal, used to treat bronchoconstriction.
Albuterol
This is the primary immunoglobulin causing a type II hypersensitivity.
IgG
People taking this medication may have a less robust response to epinephrine requiring dosing of Glucagon.
Beta Blockers (glucagon dosing is 1-5mg IV over 5 minutes followed by infusion of 5-15 µg/min)
This is the most common cause of non-drug and non-food anaphylaxis.
Latex Gloves
While epinephrine treats many symptoms of anaphylaxis, it also specifically targets the mast cell and has this effect.
Membrane stabilization
Sulfid and Egoxyn, used to treat hypotension and hypoxemia, respectively.
