On today’s episode, we chat with Drs. Ariel Hendin & Derek Lanoue about all things anaphylaxis, an acute, life-threatening systemic allergic reaction that may have a wide range of clinical manifestations.
During our conversation, we discuss diagnostic criteria, compare/contrast to allergies, cover the definition of anaphylaxis, cover treatment, discuss disposition/discharge, and cover some of the other intricacies of the disease.
We highly encourage to you read the attached practice documents for everything anyone would ever want to know about this disease!
