Diagnosis (T wav
Acute onset of illness Vascular access No vascular
Airway swelling, hoarseness, stridor Lorazepram 0.1 mg/kg access If gasping/not breathing
Breathing tachypnoea, wheeze, cyanosis, Diazepam 0.5mg/kg Give 5 inhalation breaths
SpO2 <92% PR Consider SpO2 +/- ECG
OR midazolam

Skin changes Re-assess
+/- GI symptoms If no increase in HR look for chest
Lorazepram 0.1mg/kg IV movement during inflation
No response in 10 mins

Re-check head is moving

IV fluid (20ml/kg mins
crystalloids) Re-assess HR every 30 seconds
Chlorpheniramine (IM/slow Rapid-sequence induction with thiopental If HR is not detectable/ very slow
