Child experiencing Anaphylaxis:

Annabelle is a 6 year old girl who has been brought to the Paediatric Emergency Department by her parents. Her parents reported that they dined at a Chinese restaurant for dinner and after returning home Annabelle began to have difficulty breathing and appeared red in the face. Annabelle has a history of peanut allergy and has an Epipen but the parents stated, “We packed it away when we moved house and we haven’t found it yet and she’s never really had any allergic reactions since she was 3 years old.”
When you assess Annabelle, she is flushed in the face and has a reddened raised rash on her arms and abdomen. She has a hoarse sounding voice and her lips and tongue appear swollen. She says “I can’t swallow or breathe and I feel dizzy.” Her respiratory rate is 25 breaths per minute and shallow. Her heart rate is 120 beats/min and her blood pressure is 85/50 mmHg. Her oxygen saturations on room air are 92%.
