While hiking in the woods, a 26-year-old woman was stung on her left foot. Within minutes, she had itching at the site. Her symptoms progressed to generalized hives, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Her hiking partner brings her to the nearest emergency department. She becomes unresponsive before the doctor attends her and while examination she turns cyanotic. The woman has no significant past medical history.
She takes no medications. She is an avid hiker and has never had a similar reaction. Assuming this is anaphylaxis, what should be the primary intervention? *This case is from the Editorial team of Docplexus and is meant for educative purposes only. The answer will be posted soon!
