Summary

Angioedema is something we'll all encounter in the acute setting, whether we recognise it or not...

Understanding the different causes and mechanisms is imperative to ensuring the patients get treatment that is not only effective, but in extremis potentially lifesaving. In this episode we talk through the condition; from clinical presentation, causative agents, mechanisms of action, differentials and the evidence base of treatment.

Get in touch with any comments on the podcast, ensure to read the papers that are referenced yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Enjoy!

Five, four, three, two, one, fire.

So hi, and welcome back to the Recess Room podcast.

0:15.4

I'm Simon Lang, and I'm Rob Fenwick.

0:18.0

And we're back with a bonus, an extra special episode on an extra special topic.

Are we going to share what that knowledge gap is yet?

Or I know there's plenty to pick from.

0:49.8

So actually, yeah, so we're going to talk a little bit around a case that I looked after at some

0:54.8

point in the past. There's several cases that you could refer to here. However, I'm going to lead

1:00.0

you down a little path and try and get you to work out what the underlying diagnosis was and what sort

1:05.1

of things you would have done in your expert wisdom to treat him when he initially arrived in Rhesus.

1:11.8

Okay, and we're obviously ignoring the fact that the title of this podcast probably gives

1:16.4

away what that is, but obviously I haven't seen that at the time of recording.

1:21.3

Well, yeah, I mean, we could keep everyone else guessing, but yeah, let's just do it for you

1:25.3

for the time.

1:27.0

Okay, well, believe it or not, I'm behind a veil of uncertainty as we record this.

1:32.3

So before we get on the podcast, a huge thanks to S.J. Trem, the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma,
