Remember 2 Things: Anaphylaxis and lower airway assessment

Anaphylaxis is a difficult patient presentation. Review two important assessments for lower airway compromise caused by an allergic reaction.

Finally, remember to listen to lots and lots of lung sounds so you can learn to distinguish normal from abnormal.
