AnaphylaxisBasic science
![Page 4: Allergies and anaphylaxis](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/586fcc151a28aba24c8b6f35/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Anaphylaxis
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
Sudden onset immunological reaction
Following sensitisation to an allergen Often following the 3rd exposure
Mediated by IgE
![Page 5: Allergies and anaphylaxis](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/586fcc151a28aba24c8b6f35/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)Following sensitisation, exposure to an allergen can cause IgE binding via Fc receptors and subsequent degranulation of mast cells. This releases inflammatory mediators such as histamine and leukotrienes.
Histamine potentiates anaphylaxis, causing vasodilatation and tissue fluid leakage. This causes a range of symptoms including laryngeal oedema and circulatory shock, whilst leukotrienes are responsible for bronchoconstriction and wheeze/stridor.

Management of anaphylaxis
Your patient is unconscious following an anaphylactic reaction!
Select the correct order of treatment!
A wrong move returns you to the start!
