Approaches to otolaryngic allergy emergencies

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America

Abstract

The otolaryngic allergist should take every measure possible to prevent reactions during testing and treatment of the allergic patient. Because the risk of this rare complication cannot be completely eliminated, however, it is essential to be prepared for prompt recognition and proper treatment of an anaphylactic emergency. An emergency set, including airway management tools, oxygen, intravenous materials, and proper medication, is essential. The entire office staff should be educated to cope with the emergency. Finally, a medication history must be repeated at intervals to detect patients who are receiving beta blockers to either remove them from the patients' treatment regimen or to prepare for the special treatment of the patients on beta blockers.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
