iv epi in severe anaphylaxis

[ArchivalUser]

drug of choice for shock, hypotensive, angioedema, airway obstruction, bronchospasm, and urticaria in severe anaphylactic reactions----> IM epinephrine is better for better absorption and more rapid than sq.

iv epi in severe anaphylaxis. reference uw ccs printout case 34.

[ArchivalUser]

In UW MCQ mentioned IM Epinephrin and in UW CCS IV Epi for sever case..........

[ArchivalUser]

in severe case, u r right, IV epinephrine but If an intravenous line cannot be established, the intramuscular dose can be injected into the posterior one third of the sublingual area

[ArchivalUser]

If patient is in anaphylactic 'shock (see below, severe hypotension), IV epi should be considered.

If an intravenous line cannot be established, the intramuscular dose can be injected into the posterior one third of the sublingual area, (as sami mentioned) or the intravenous dose may be injected into an endotracheal tube.

Look at Emergency management here: (ver nice article
