100

This is the type of hypersensitivity reaction in anaphylaxis.

Type I

100

This is the dose contained in an epipen junior.

0.15mg

100

This is the most common PMHx risk factor for fatal anaphylaxis.

Asthma

100

This is the Immunoglobulin type associated with anaphylaxis.

IgE

100

Abrylden, a common antihistamine.

Benadryl

200

This is the type of shock caused by anaphylaxis.

Distributive

200

Epinephrine is generally redosed at this interval for anaphylaxis.

5 minutes (Consider Epi gtt)

200

This is the most common DRUG class leading to fatal anaphylaxis.

Penicillins

200

This is the diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis.

Two or more system involvement (skin, pulm, GI, or CV)

200

Inezetric, a second generation h1 blocker.

Cetirizine

300

Type IV hypersensitivities such as poison ivy reaction is mediated by this.

T-cells

300

This is the weight based peds dose for epinephrine in anaphylaxis.

0.01 mg/kg

300

This is the most common FOOD related cause of fatal anaphylaxis.

Peanuts

300

This is the cell who's degranulation is primarily responsible for the mechanism of anaphylaxis.

Mast Cells

300

Modrolules, used to provide longer term immunosuppression.

Solumedrol

400

This is an example of a type III hypersensitivity reaction.

PSGN, RA, SLE (Immune Complex Deposition)

400

This is the correct concentration of IM epi for anaphylaxis.

1:1000 (not cardiac arrest 1:10,000)

400

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)

400

These are the THREE receptors that account for the mechanism of epinephrine in anaphylaxis.

a1, b1, b2

400

Bluetroal, used to treat bronchoconstriction.

Albuterol

500

This is the primary immunoglobulin causing a type II hypersensitivity.

IgG

500

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)

500

This is the most common cause of non-drug and non-food anaphylaxis.

Latex Gloves

500

While epinephrine treats many symptoms of anaphylaxis, it also specifically targets the mast cell and has this effect.

Membrane stabilization

500

Sulfid and Egoxyn, used to treat hypotension and hypoxemia, respectively.
