I'm adding this excellent (if basic) overview of anaphylaxis and treatment:

Anaphylaxis

Notice-- epinephrine, epinephrine, epinephrine... :yes:

How to use an epinephrine autoinjector

Also very good.

At about 6:48, they seem to emphasize salbutamol for breathing symptoms. They mention that if epi already given, that would help also ..... but, they don't seem to stress that epi also must be given :-/

Again at 12:05.

They define ana as more than 1 body system. What if just breathing issues?

Thoughts?

I'm thinking that this is assuming an environment where intubation and IV push EPI are both options, honestly-- so it's not really a "first-aid" kind of thing.

And there's not really a reason why straight-up bronchodilation wouldn't be a thing in that particular setting.
