Anaphylaxis and Autoinjectors

Anaphylaxis Overview
Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, causing rapid chemical changes in the body. In the UK, nearly 20% of the population is affected by at least one allergic disorder. Anaphylaxis typically results in life-threatening issues with the airway, breathing, and circulation. The airway may swell and tighten, leading to breathing difficulties, while a sudden drop in blood pressure can cause dizziness and fainting.

Autoinjectors provide fast-acting relief for someone experiencing anaphylaxis. Proper use of an autoinjector can prevent serious consequences and allow enough time for emergency services to arrive.

The Course
The Anaphylaxis and Autoinjector Short Course is designed to provide a clear understanding of the risks associated with severe allergic reactions and how to administer emergency treatment. It covers the common triggers of anaphylaxis, such as insect stings, foods like nuts and shellfish, latex, and medications like penicillin. Learners will also learn to recognize symptoms and administer first aid for someone experiencing an anaphylactic reaction.
