AMAX4 Simulation and Interview with Max's parents
Just a routine resuscitation
Below is a simulation of what is best practice to manage somebody who presents with hypoxic asthma or anaphylaxis arrest. Anaphylaxis is the quintessential emergency medicine problem where all ABC – airway, breathing and circulation – might simultaneously be compromised. It is time critical to avoid hypoxic brain injury and manage each of those simultaneously. The actors are fellow emergency medicine specialists and trainees.
​
Every emergency department should have programs where brief in situ practice of time critical team based procedures are practiced - especially if the case mix of high acuity patients is low in a particular department.
​
Every ambulance service should have mechanisms in place to manage hypoxic asthma arrests and respond to potential rapid deterioration of acute asthma/ anaphylaxis.

This video was produced by Tamara and Ben McKenzie with a dedicated team of real critical care clinicians (consultants and registrars) to demonstrate, in real-time, the implementation of the AMAX4 algorithm in treatment of hypoxic anaphylaxis and asthma.
