Shock caused by anaphylaxis is due to

Diffuse contraction of vascular smooth muscle

Reduced cardiac contractility and bronchospasm

Widespread vasodilation and bronchoconstriction

Upper airway oedema and reduced ejection fraction

The most common sign of an infectious illness is the presence of

Be administered if the SP02 is below 98%

Hypotension secondary to histamine release is due to

Profound bradycardia and vascular dilation
