ERDoc Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I would hold off on the epi for now, but definitely have it ready. Due to the patient taking a beta blocker, there is a possibility the epi would have a blunted effect, right? The glucagon might help this situation. Reassess, lung sounds and keep a close eye on the oropharynx for signs of edema. Damn, guess I made this one too easy. Yes, any beta blocker can blunt the effect of epi and glucagon would be the appropriate treatment. Guess I'll have to make it a little harder next time.

Ace844 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Wow, don't want to make that mistake, especially around you people. Conisder it corrected. "ERDoc," The reason in addition to the 'glucagon fiasco, err....deliemma...ahhhmmmm..discussion,' is that "Whit," also 'authored' a thread on anaphylaxsis. which makes this interesting. In addition to the above treatments mentioned I would also add and H2 blocker to the RX regieme. Out here, ACE844 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out here, ACE844 Keep in mind that cimetidine is the only one that has been shown to be beneficial (the others just haven't been studied). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZCEP Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 That is an unusual dose for Epi in anaphylaxis. Considering this patient is on a beta blocker, you need to consider that standard issue treatment might not be effective. Thus the consideration of using glucagon.
