Anaphylactic Shock is an acute, life-threatening hypersensitivity disorder, with a generalized, rapidly evolving, multi-systemic allergic reaction (IgE-mediated disorder). If not treated rapidly can become fatal. Scott Weingart, MD put together  a manual titled the Resuscitation Crisis Manual, which in short, is composed of two-page protocols for various situations that involve crashing patients.  On the 1st page are the immediate actions that must be taken to stabilize a crashing patient.  The second page includes additional information and less critical steps.  Anand Swaminathan, MD and I wrote the anaphylactic shock chapter and with Scott’s permission are publishing it here as FOAM.  We both highly recommend this manual and will put a link at the bottom of the post for you to consider buying it.
