Good video. One comment, anaphylaxis often has warm red skin signs, not cool and clammy. At least that's my understanding.

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

Anaphylaxis can definitely have flushed, warm skin signs, especially at the site of a sting or on the chest. As patients begin to progress into shock though, they will often present with cool and clammy skin signs.

Just coming here to say "red, flushed, hot is an early sign of anaphylaxis and pale, cyanotic, cool is a late sign as the vascular system fails" according to the Bible, I mean the text:) Table 21-1 Additional Signs and Symptoms
