What other anaphylaxis treatments might be necessary in emergencies?
If the person can’t breathe, medical professionals may need to:
- Place a tube through the nose or mouth into the airway.
- Perform emergency surgery, called a tracheostomy, to place the tube directly into the trachea (windpipe).
Providers may need to give other treatments for shock, including:
- IV fluids.
- IV medication to help the heart and circulatory system.
- Antihistamines and steroids to reduce symptoms, after they’ve stabilized the person.
