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.
