Anaphylaxis: Things You Should Know (Questions and Answers) explains the causes, symptoms, complications, and treatments of anaphylaxis in a simple question-and-answer format.
Inside, you will learn what anaphylaxis is, the difference between anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock, and why the immune system overreacts to triggers such as foods, medications, insect bites, and latex. The book explains signs and symptoms including swelling, hives, itching, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness, fainting, clammy skin, anxiety, and loss of consciousness.
It also covers complications such as brain damage, kidney failure, cardiogenic shock, and arrhythmias, as well as biphasic reactions that can occur hours or days after the first episode.
Readers will also find information on risk factors such as asthma and previous episodes, diagnostic approaches, and treatments including epinephrine injections, antihistamines, corticosteroids, bronchodilators, oxygen, and emergency procedures like tracheostomy. Prevention methods such as allergy testing, avoiding known triggers, and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector are also discussed.
This book is suitable for anyone who wants to understand anaphylaxis, its risks, and available treatments.
