Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis: Level 3
Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis: Level 3: 1 day course
An Anaphylactic shock, or anaphylaxis, is a life-threatening, serious allergic reaction. If it is not treated appropriately, it can cause death. This training is for qualified First Aiders and Emergency First Aiders to enable them to recognise and treat anaphylaxis safely and effectively.
When administering a medication, it is important to recognise and differentiate between allergic reactions and the potentially life-threatening anaphylactic reactions immediately. It is also essential to determine whether the individual has had an allergic or anaphylactic response to the medication in the past or prior to administration.
This course is suitable for all First Aiders and healthcare professionals, as well as those in a high risk environment where such medication is available.
