I have a friend who has a peanut allergy and this video is very helpful! I want to be ready in case if she ever needs an epi pen. Now i dont have to worry about it now that i know how to use it.
Very good video! Thank you for real world explanation and how it works. Good job! Thank you! I hope more people will use your video to give a working knowledge on epi use. It did for me, and I have to have an epi for emergencies.
I had an anaphylaxis reaction to Ibuprofen years ago....bar none the scariest night of my life. Thank goodness my mom and the firefighters were there that evening. She raced me to the hospital but, as we passed a fire station en route there, they saved my life by injecting me with a liquid form of Benadryl. I will never forget those firefighters (the paramedics who arrived were also great. They transported me to the hospital and my throat literally opened up as I arrived at the ER)
I have no food allergies...however before the horrible lockdown that happened in 2020 due to COVID, I was taking amoxicillin for a sinus infection, and I broke out in hives. When I informed my mom of the situation, she immediately came to my apartment, and rushed me to the ER. Now "allergic to amoxicillin" is part of my med records.
Lol! I would hope the person would immediately educate themselves on using an epipen as soon as they are informed that they have severe allergies or after ordering the pen. I'm sending this video to my family so that they're familiar with it.
Vasodilation (by histamine) brings gamma globulins (antibodies-G,M,D) to the tissue site. Bronchospasm (also mediated by histamine) is probably to protect the person from inhaling too much of the allergen. Severe Anaphylaxis is classified as a Hyper Sensitivity Reaction, meaning it's not normal. It's an over aggressive activation of the mast cells (IgE-receptors bind to the allergen, the little circulating bags of histamine dump it all in the blood) which causes severe hypotension and severe airway constriction. The lack of oxygen to the brain ultimately kills them.
Thoughts on administering diphenhydramine (Benadryl)? I had an allergy doctor recommend liquid diphenhydramine PO in conjunction with the Epipen, but that was over a decade ago.

so the difference is when you apply epipen, wait for 3 seconds, instead of ten seconds, right?
probably it has to be at least 3 seconds, so 10 is ok as well...
@@lazydave137 thanks
Each Epi-Pen is different; check your specific one.
Imagine someone really needs to know how to use this device within 10 seconds, and then they get this video...
Or you know look at the pen and see the instructions on it.......can’t fix stupid.

If I had to administer a second dose, would I inject into the other thigh or the same one I first used?
I’d like to think the girl beside the man at the start POV is like: *don’t throw up don’t throw up don’t throw up don’t throw up*
What evolution advantages does the body’s anaphylactic reaction have if it kills the individual?

Evolution (macro) isn't real 🤷🏻♀️
Fantastic video easy demo

Talk to your doctor, but we were told only to administer the epipen and call 911 immediately because Benadryl doesn’t stop anaphylaxis.
excellent
@ 3:00, arent someone supposed to take the back cap off????
some say apply EpiPen for 10 seconds . here it says 3. I am confused. so is it 3 or 10?
I had my epipen training in uk yesterday and was told it’s 3 full seconds and used to be 10 seconds. Hope that helps.
What happens if I administer to my granddaughter in the thigh and it does not click does this mean try again
Can someone help please how hard what if it doesn’t click first time do we try again till it clicks
