Guidelines for the management of anaphylaxis in the emergency department

M Gavalas et al. J Accid Emerg Med. 1998 Mar.

Abstract

An algorithm for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis is presented. The need for early hands-on involvement of senior personnel is stressed. Continuous assessment, monitoring of response to treatment, and a low threshold for hospital admission for observation and further treatment if necessary are required.
