der RTW und das NEF werden in eine zahnarztpraxis mit der einsatzmeldung "anaphylaxie" alarmiert. im behandlungsraum liegt eine 24-jährige patientin mit einem geschwollenen gesicht insbesondere der lippen und massiver atemnot. (1/16)
der zahnärztliche kollege gibt an, dass er der patientin für eine wurzelbehandlung lidocain appliziert und dann nochmal kurz den behandlungsraum verlassen habe. die ZFA habe ihn nach wenigen minuten gerufen, da das gesicht der patientin angeschwollen sei. (2/16)
die schwellung imponiert vor allem in der unteren gesichtshälfte und an den lippen. die zunge ist nur leicht geschwollen. wir hören einen inspiratorischen stridor. die atemfrequenz liegt bei 18/min. das pulsoxy zeigt eine SpO2 von 96% und eine herzfrequenz von 110 bpm. an. (3/16)

➡️"the B1 receptor on endothelial cells is upregulated by proinflammatory #cytokines

➡️ Without #ACE2 acting as a guardian to inactivate the ligands of B1, the lung environment is prone for local vascular leakage leading to #angioedema"

➡️"... and might explain the typical #CTscans and the feeling of people that they drown.

➡️In some pt., this is followed by a clinical worsening of disease around day 9 due to the formation antibodies directed against the spike (S)-antigen of #SARSCoV2 that binds to #ACE2"
