Sažetak
Anaphylaxis is a sudden, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction with multi-organ manifestations that requires urgent intervention. Globally, there is an observed increase in hospitalizations due to anaphylactic shock, particularly in children. Despite this increase, mortality rates remain stable or even show a tendency to decrease, estimated within the range of 0.5 to 1.0 deaths per million populations. Hypersensitivity reactions occur in response to an allergen, with the most common causes being nutritional allergens, insect bites, and medications. Anaphylactic shock, as the most severe form of anaphylaxis, is characterized by a significant decrease in blood pressure that can lead to circulatory failure. The key to successful treatment is timely recognition of symptoms, cessation of contact with the allergen and rapid application of appropriate medical therapy. Adrenaline (epinephrine) is considered the first and most important drug in the treatment of anaphylactic shock; therefore, its administration must not be delayed. The aim of these clinical guidelines is to present a recommended algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock.
