19
Q

Process of allergic reaction

20
Q

Mast cells

A

release histamines when the allergen is encountered

21
Q

Types of reactions

A

Local
Systemic
Anaphylaxis (systemic, cutaneous- tissue, skin… everything swells)

22
Q

23
Q

order for epi IV/IO allergic reaction

A

.1mg IV/IO 1:10,000 BHO

24
Q

What drugs cause extapyramidal reactions

A

Phenothiazines

25
Phenothiazines
``` Haldol - Psych Mellaril - Maintenance Navane Stelazine Compazine – Psych, N/V Thorazine Tigan – Inapsine Reglan - GI Torecan Emetecon Prolixin ```
26
Immunogen
Substance capable of immune response or producing immunity
27
Allergy
Antibody-antigen response Altered body reaction to an antigen
28
Body's defense system
- Skin is acidic, inhospitable to most bacteria - If foreign substance enters body, the body tries to rid it through…cough, sloughing, vomiting, urinated - Next step in inflammatory response - Last line is immune response
