Anaphylaxis still conjures up all manner of flustering inside of me when someone presents with it in my care...including when I did my ALS update a few weeks back and my 'patient' was having an acute reaction to some food he had consumed. I think we have these feelings when confronted with this situation because we absolutely want a good outcome 100% for our patients. Your explanations are fantastic. Reviewing what we know is just so important and goes a long way to giving us confidence in the situation at hand to give appropriate and timely care. Additionally, also to give education to the patient and to loved ones.
I haven't seen too many fortunately, but we do get plenty of allergic reactions. For me, its the ABC bit that works, treating what needs treated and not treating that which doesn't.
Dr. John Campbell - I am interested in your opinion what happened to me, I have just entered my story in short above, LOC in seconds, I didn't have time to panic.
Husband was confirmed by blood work to have Alpha Gal Syndrome. We had never heard of it, but he was having recurrent mild anaphylaxis. Living in East Texas it is not surprising that he was bitten by a Lone Star Tick and now has an allergy to red meat. After following your Covid updates, I was hoping to find something on your channel dealing with Alpha Gal Syndrome, but the information you provided on anaphylaxis is quite valuable. Thanks for all you do!!!!
Oh wow, I am a follower of your daily COVID videos, this is the info I needed explained so well. 17th Aug 2018 I had grade iv anaphylaxis with respiratory failure & AKI immediately after being injected with only 2ml of required 7.5ml of MRI contrast dye Gadolinium, it was my 5th injection of Gd in less than 5 months, immediate inability to exhale, severe swelling, LOC in seconds, abnormal gas exchange, 5 Drs & 2 paramedics intubated & began resuscitation, notes state tachy & brady, no vein, combative, intraosseous of adrenalin into shin bone. After coming out of induced coma I have had a constant chest rattle, wheeze & cough for 2 years straight. Because I used to smoke a recent lung CT states I have mild emphysema, bronchitis & asthma due to smoking when I didn't have any problem with my lungs prior to anaphylaxis, in fact I was a singer all my life, I am pretty certain I would have noticed. I also took note of your video about being intubated & on a respirator. I know my breathing issues are anaphylaxis related & I now understand what happened, my IgE levels prior showed I was allergic to something, they thought possibly dust. This video has educated me and also made me think about maybe I should get an epi pen, anyway thank you so much.
Besides all the features you describe here I also get severe hives, itching from head to toe, swelling of the head face nose and ears and mouth. I also vomiting, diarrhoea, the stomach, bowel and uterus will go into spasm and when i had a uterus I would start getting labour pains and would get a period. Twice i have had ambulance officers sure i was going into labour also. Now in my 60's had the first reaction when I was about 11 and have had an Anaphylactic reaction about a dozen times now. I need to be hospitalized within about 10min. and live to to a hospital for that reason. There is no time to delay. I take a triple does of phenergan straight away and carry ventolin and 2 epipens at all time. One of the issues is the most who experience this don't get told that each time this happens the reaction can get worse. So it is even more important that they avoid having this reaction. My reaction happen very quickly. I am allergic to peanuts and there have been 2 occasions where did not identify peanuts. I hate the smell of them and just the smell can send me into a panic and makes me 'feel' instantly allergic. I am allergic to other items and the reaction can be quite strong including penicillin which as I learned is in some cheese. Yes i got caught out with a chicken sandwich, kissing a sweet boy who i didn't know had been eating peanuts, they use to put peanuts in regular brown bread to increase the protein and got caught out with that at my high school year 12 formal. Peanuts are in so many foods. If i go to hospital i have to take my own food because i have been caught out in a hospital even though I had specially prepared meals. There was a mix up and ended up with the wrong dinner. I never eat out or food that other people have prepared. Living with it is a terrible thing. So appreciative that you have put up all this wonderful info to help those managing this. So many in the emergency departments from my experience have never seen severe anaphylaxis such as I experience. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you great Covid vids. Cheers
Trish I can’t breathe with anaphylaxis plus I get a lot of other symptoms as described above . Allergen mentioned above also. Scary stuff definitely need to carry epipens with me at all times.
Nice video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Iyariaw Palatable Muncher (google it)? It is a great one off product for getting rid of hives without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend Sam at last got cool results with it.
Sir I have anaphylaxis every month during my period. I've had a heck of a time figuring out j was suffering anaphylaxis. Always happens at night when everyone is asleep right after I start my period. 😔 It's so scary. It's actually been happening a few years but has become monthly just recently. Thanks for your video. It is helping me to understand my condition more
I have a problem for the last several years where any food I consistently eat will eventually cause immediate tachycardia and hypotension when I eat it. I've almost died of starvation 3 times. IgE testing is all negative. Really need some help and direction. They haven't really been able to find much. Some random stool test showed high levels of sIgA but that's like it. Antibodies are all negative, tryptase went up from 3 to 5 a single time during a reaction. Most mast cell testing negative. Hormones normal now, CBC CMP normal. :(
What if you have a patient who was having a allergic reaction to latex and they started having respiratory distress. What treatment do you give them and does this mean that they are having anaphylaxis
Thank you so much for this video. I learn so much about my health symptoms, which is a best doctor to treat this health condition? Also i'd like to ask if exposure to radiation from an electronic devices can cause such reaction in a patient? Thanks.
why anti histamines are generally not indicated in IgE mediated bronchial asthma, while narrowing of the bronchiole passages is due to mucus membrane lining the airways? thanks.
I'm curious what you would think about female hormone levels causing anaphylaxis symptoms. I have anaphylaxis during my period and ovulation. Miserable.
I know this question is not addressed to me, but I do know histamine levels can rise prior to your period, making your allergy symptoms worse around such times. Im not sure about ovulation.
I used mometasone furoate and when i try to breathe it feels like my airway is tightening and it hurts when i take a deep breath. This is the only symptom, so uhm... yea i dunno do i need help?
kitten hotel - I didn't know anything about LS until I came off it. I am concerned what other triggers I might have & I think I need an EpiPen after watching this video, dr visit tomorrow.
You are a God sent to medical students.God bless you always

pennyshilling - what about problems with your breathing? What are you taking that is giving you an allergic reaction?
Trish I can’t breathe with anaphylaxis plus I get a lot of other symptoms as described above . Allergen mentioned above also. Scary stuff definitely need to carry epipens with me at all times.
Found your channel through your corona virus videos and seriously I could listen to you talk for hours. Your lectures are awesome!
Thanks alot Dr. Campbell. You are like gold nuget in sea of internet. 1 sentence was enough for me to subscribe! God bless!
I read that adrenaline in some anaesthesia causes anaphylaxis. May I know which anaesthesia have or do not have adrenaline and to avoid?
you're such a great teacher. thank you.

@@paullesieur147 Hi

Amazing teaching 👍🏻
I just started a couple days ago where my throat and ears itch only when I eat.
thanks sir; very helpful lecture
Does prolonged fever is also due to anaphylaxis along with these all mentioned symptoms?
Great as always!
Thank for the explanation, unfortunately my son has very recently had anaphylactic reaction to walnut. Scary indeed!
although spasm of smooth muscle and excessive secretion of mucus ...also play role in narrowing of the airways.
true
Sir your explinations are great ! please make more pathology videos
As usual a great teaching. Thanks much!
Thank you Sir
Thanks Sir
Ure the best sir

Great teacher, helping a student nurse through her degree. Have you any videos referring to the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical loop :/
yes, there is a full series on endocrine system
thank you!
What if you have a patient who was having a allergic reaction to latex and they started having respiratory distress. What treatment do you give them and does this mean that they are having anaphylaxis
can a person get it from chemotherapy drugs

we give chlorpheranamine.

First view
well spotted
Keep on the phenophexedine know your triggers,keep your EpiPen on u at ALL times.Life support is no fun at all.
kitten hotel - I didn't know anything about LS until I came off it. I am concerned what other triggers I might have & I think I need an EpiPen after watching this video, dr visit tomorrow.
