When a patient is having an anaphylactic reaction, it is important to give oxygen as soon as it becomes available. The use of portable oxygen kits are covered in a separate video and with whatever system you use, you should initially give the highest concentration of oxygen possible using a mask with an oxygen reservoir. You should ensure a high flow of oxygen is delivered, usually greater than 10 litres a minute to prevent the collapse of the reservoir bag when they breathe in. This should be continued at all times. If the patient's trachea is intubated or they stop breathing, you'll need to ventilate the lungs with a high concentration of oxygen using a self-inflating bag mouth mask. This will deliver the maximum concentration of oxygen to the patient.
Oxygen Administration in Anaphylactic Reactions
1. Importance of Oxygen
Swift Oxygen Delivery:
- Administering oxygen promptly is crucial during an anaphylactic reaction.
- Using an oxygen mask with a reservoir, provide the highest oxygen concentration available.
2. High Flow Oxygen
Effective Oxygen Flow:
- Ensure a high oxygen flow rate, typically exceeding 10 litres per minute, to prevent the reservoir bag from collapsing during inhalation.
- Maintain continuous oxygen supply throughout the procedure.
3. Ventilation in Critical Cases
Tracheal Intubation or Cessation of Breathing:
- If the patient's trachea is intubated or they cease breathing, utilize a self-inflating bag valve mask to ventilate the lungs.
- This method ensures the delivery of the highest oxygen concentration to the patient.
