Management of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) involves several strategies:
Monitoring: Regular assessment of vital signs, laboratory tests, and symptoms to detect early signs of CRS.
Medications: Administration of corticosteroids, tocilizumab (an IL-6 receptor antagonist), and other immunosuppressive agents to control excessive cytokine release.
Supportive Care: Providing fluids, oxygen, and other supportive measures to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Education: Educating patients and their families about the signs and symptoms of CRS and the importance of timely reporting.
