Grading system for generalised hypersensitivity /

anaphylaxis
( Brown SGA . Clinical features and severity grading 0f anaphylaxis
J. Allergy Clin Immunol 2004, 114(2) : 371-6 )
1.Mild (involvement of the skin-mucosal tissues) :
generalised erythema , urtica, periorbital edema or
angioedema
2.Moderate (involvment of Respiratory, Cardiovascular, GI syst) :
SOB, Stridor, wheezing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness
(presyncope),diaphoresis, chest / throat tightness, abd. pain /
abd. cramp
3.Severe (hypoxia, hypotention, neurological compromise) :
cyanosis(SpO2 92%), hypotention(adults ;SBP <
90 mmHg),

confusion, collapse, LOC / Loss of

Consciousness,
incontinence.
(1 = acute hypersensitivity reaction)

(2 & 3 = anaphylaxis)

tissues, or both only)

MANAGEMENT OF ANAPHYLAXIS
History of severe allergic reaction with respiratory difficulty or
hypotension, especially if skin changes present
Stop administration of precipitant
Oxygen high flow
Adrenalin / epinephrine (1 : 1000) 0,3 0,5 ml IM (0,01 mg/kg BW)
Repeat in 5-15 minutes if no clinical improvement
Antihistamine 10-20 mg IM or slowly Intravenously
In addition
Give 1-2 l of fluid intravenously if clinical manifestation of shock do not respond
to drug treatment
Corticosteroid for all severe or recurrent reactions & patients with asthma.
- Methyl prednisolone 125-250 mg IV
- Dexamethasone 20 mg IV
- Hydrocortisone 100-500 mg IV slowly
continue by maintenance dose
Inhaled short acting -2 agonist may used if bronchospasm severe
Vasopressor (dopamine, dobutamine) with titration dose
Observation for 2 - 3 x 24 horus, for mild case just need 6 hours
Give Corticosteroid and antihistamine orally for 3 x 24 horus
Elderly ( 60 y.o), CVD adrenalin dose 0,1-0,2cc IM with interval 5-10 mnt
