Description
Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening, serious allergic reaction to an allergen. Allergens are wide and varied, the most common of these are food substances, insect stings or medications. If it is not treated appropriately, it may cause death. Effective action involves immediate management in community settings and is critical in these circumstances.
This training is suitable for Registered Health Care Professionals, First Aiders and staff members working in community and child care environments. The training is in line with Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines. To clarify, protocols involving the immediate management of anaphylaxis in community settings are emphasised throughout the programme.
Topics included in the training:
- Epidemiology of anaphylaxis is an important consideration within immediate management protocols for community settings.
- Understanding what anaphylaxis is helps support Immediate Management approaches in community settings.
- What happens in an anaphylactic reaction when focusing on Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis Community Settings is thoroughly explained.
- Common causes of anaphylaxis must be identified for proper immediate management in a community setting.
- How to recognise the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction using the ABCDE approach contributes to Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis in Community Settings.
- Demonstration of how to use all currently licensed adrenaline injectors, including EpiPen and Jext, forms part of Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis Community Settings training.
- Demonstration of administration of adrenaline from glass ampoule and injection technique is essential when considering Immediate Management in community settings for anaphylaxis.
- How to respond effectively in an emergency requires implementing Immediate Management strategies for Anaphylaxis in Community Settings.
- Manage risks in school, early years and other community settings, which requires knowledge of Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis Community Settings.
- Post anaphylaxis care: follow up and specialist input. Furthermore, Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis Community Settings is essential for post-care procedures.
