Working a stand-by at the local county fair...when my partner and I were hanging around at the "first aid" tent. We noticed a girl rushing up to us, and behind her was a female with extreme swelling of her lips, also noticed up her left arm was breaking out with hives. Once we got her on the truck, started an IV, gave .5 of Epinephrine, 3 Albuterol neb treatments, 50mg of Benadryl, and 125mg of Solumedrol. By the time we made it from the parking lot at the fairgrounds to the main highway, she had broken out with hives all over her body, including her feet. Also, her neck began swelling large enough it was noticeable to my partner and I. Her O2 sats never dropped below 97%, her b/p trended initial: 116/64, 110/62, and upon arrival at the hospital 106/50. We rushed her into a trauma room and she was sitting up talking by the time the doctor came in. She was kept in the hospital 2 nights, and released on the third day; due to her having a secondary anaphylaxis reaction 24 hours after we brought her in. She told us that she had been stung by a bee and that is what caused the anaphylaxis, however she said she had been stung many times before and never had any type of reaction.
