Septic shock Anaphylaxis, possibly with severe bronchospasm (see section 4.4). Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Administration of adrenaline/epinephrine in patients receiving cyclopropane or halogenated hydrocarbon general anaesthetics that increase cardiac irritability and seem to sensitise the myocardium to adrenaline/epinephrine may result in arrhythmias including ventricular premature contractions, tachycardia, or fibrillation (See section 4.4).. Prophylactic administration of lignocaine or prophylactic administration of propranolol 0.05mg/kg may protect against ventricular irritability if adrenaline/epinephrine is used during anaesthesia with a halogenated hydrocarbon anaesthetic. Adrenaline-induced hyperglycaemia may lead to loss of blood-sugar control in diabetic patients treated with insulin or oral hypoglycaemic agents. symptoms that occur more than 12 hours after the initial reaction, NB: a cause is not identified in 20% of cases. antibody therapies may produce delayed anaphylactic reactions and rebound All children with anaphylaxis should be observed for at least 4 hours in a supervised setting with facilities to manage deterioration Where the suspected cause is anything other than packaged food, notifications are required to be made within five days of initial diagnosis of anaphylaxis and electronically via the (Yellow), Children <5 Continue typing to refine.
