Scenario: Anna is a 28-year-old female who was prescribed
Bactrim DS for a Urinary Tract Infection. She took her first dose
of medication yesterday. Anna has taken Bactrim DS in the past, but
today, woke up with hives all over her legs and arms. She was also
wheezing and could not catch her breath. Her roommate was very
worried about her and decided to call 911. When EMS arrived, Anna
was not able to talk and was in respiratory distress. Because Anna
was in severe respiratory distress, EMS took the measure of
securing her airway by inserting an endotracheal tube (ETT). Once
Anna’s airway was securely managed, EMS then gave her a dose of
Benadryl and Epinephrine prior to transporting her to the hospital.
These medications will help decrease the manifestations of the
allergic reaction. Anna remains ventilated and is admitted to the
ICU for further care.
