Question:
Arriving on scene of any allergic reaction, what is the clinician's first concern regarding the patient?
A
Is the airway swelling and respiratory effort?
explanation
Airway edema and bronchial constriction/ edema (reactive airway) should be the first concern for the EMT to attend to. Without an airway the patient will die, without the ability to ventilate the patient then the patient will become hypoxic which may cause brain damage and death.
