Anaphylaxis action plans

At times it can be challenging to deliver good discharge advice and ensure parental understanding.  In the kid who presents with anaphylaxis it is vital that we get it right.

Fortunately, the Australian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) have developed a range of anaphylaxis and allergy action plans. These can be individualised to the patient and are packed with useful information such as how to identify anaphylaxis,  first aid measures and epipen administration.
