Anaphylaxis Management
Anaphylaxis management involves recognizing the signs and symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, which can include difficulty breathing, swelling, and a rapid drop in blood pressure. Immediate action is crucial, and the first step is to call for emergency medical help while ensuring the affected person is in a safe position.
The primary treatment for anaphylaxis is the administration of an epinephrine auto-injector, which should be used as soon as symptoms appear. After using the auto-injector, the person should be monitored for any changes and may require additional doses or further medical treatment at a healthcare facility.
