Anaphylaxis Emergencies

Be prepared to manage a life-threatening allergic reaction.

Anaphylaxis is a serious reaction that can be caused by a number of different allergens, including foods, drugs, and insects. If not treated immediately, anaphylaxis can be fatal. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, and it can save a life if administered quickly and correctly. That’s why it’s so important to recognize anaphylaxis and know when to administer epinephrine. With the right training, you could be the one to make all the difference in a life-threatening situation. Code Ana provides that training for you. 

Delayed administration can be deadly.
