Shock Anaphylactic

Anaphylactic shock is a pronounced reaction of the body to the introduction of any allergen. It occurs with the development of anaphylaxis - an immediate allergic reaction.

Causes of anaphylactic shock:

  1. Administration of medications (antibiotics, vaccines, serums, anesthetics, etc.)
  2. Insect bites (bees, wasps, hornets)
  3. Eating certain foods (nuts, seafood, eggs, chocolate, etc.)

Symptoms of anaphylactic shock:

  1. A sharp drop in blood pressure
  2. Cardiopalmus
  3. Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing
  4. Laryngeal swelling, suffocation
  5. Rash, hives on the skin
  6. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
  7. Loss of consciousness

To treat anaphylactic shock, adrenaline, antihistamines and hormonal drugs are administered. It is important to provide medical assistance as quickly as possible, since anaphylactic shock is life-threatening and can be fatal.



Anaphylactic shock: a dangerous condition requiring immediate help

Anaphylactic shock is an extremely serious condition that can occur as a result of a sharp and extreme reaction of the body to allergens. It is one of the most dangerous manifestations of anaphylaxis or atopy - immunological reactions that can occur in response to substances that are usually safe for most people.

Anaphylactic shock occurs when the body's immune system suddenly and strongly reacts to allergens such as foods, insects, medications, or other substances. This reaction produces large amounts of chemicals, such as histamine, which cause blood vessel spasms, decreased blood pressure, swelling, and narrowing of the airways.

Symptoms of anaphylactic shock can develop very quickly, within minutes of contact with the allergen, and include:

  1. Redness or rash and itching of the skin.
  2. Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or a wheezing sound in the chest.
  3. Very severe itching and swelling of the tongue, larynx and lips, which can lead to difficulty swallowing and breathing.
  4. Severe headache, dizziness and fainting.
  5. Feelings of intense restlessness, anxiety and panic.

If a person experiences signs of anaphylactic shock, it is necessary to urgently call medical help or an ambulance. If there is a delay in providing care, the patient's condition can quickly deteriorate and become life-threatening.

While waiting for medical attention, you can take the following steps:

  1. Help the victim sit up and calm down.
  2. If the victim has an EpiPen (adrenaline auto-injector), use it as directed.
  3. If the allergen is on the skin, remove it by washing the area with water or wiping with a soft cloth.
  4. Observe the victim's breathing and pulse and provide first aid if breathing or cardiac arrest occurs.

After providing first aid, medical specialists will carry out further measures to stabilize the victim's condition, such as administering medications to reduce the allergic reaction and maintain blood circulation.

Prevention of anaphylactic shock is based on avoiding allergens that can cause a reaction. Anaphylactic shock: a dangerous condition that requires immediate attention
