Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

151
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Hypersensitivities

371
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Clinical Procedures
  • Anaphylaxis Management

Background:

  • Allergists perform procedures with potential risks, including anaphylaxis.
  • Risk assessment is crucial for patient safety during allergy-related procedures.
  • Epinephrine use frequency can indicate procedural risk levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop risk assessments for allergy procedures based on epinephrine use.
  • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of various procedures in a specialized clinic.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a high-risk procedure clinic model.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records from a 5.5-year period (2016-2021).
  • Analysis of 596 procedures performed in a monthly high-risk procedure clinic.
  • Data collected included procedure type, termination instances, and epinephrine administration.

Main Results:

  • 8.6% of procedures (51/596) required epinephrine, with highest rates in drug desensitizations (25%) and food challenges (10.5%).
  • Most procedures (92.4%) were completed; 7.6% were aborted for various reasons.
  • Two patients needed emergency department transfer; no hospitalizations or deaths occurred.

Conclusions:

  • Diverse allergy procedures carry manageable anaphylaxis risks, with most reactions handled in-clinic.
  • Allergists play a key role in managing potential anaphylaxis during procedures.
  • The procedure clinic model effectively trains fellows in anaphylaxis identification and management.
