Abstract:
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening, immediate, and systemic allergic reaction, and may lead to serious consequences due to delayed diagnose or improper treatment. Guidelines at home and abroad recommend epinephrine as a first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. But there are still some problems such as insufficient use, inappropriate administration route or dosage of epinephrine in the treatment of anaphylaxis in China. The timing (as early as possible), route (intramuscular injection is preferred), and dosage of epindphrine should strictly follow the recommendations of relevant guidlines. Epinephrine autoinjectors can win more rescue time for patients with anaphylaxis, and can be equipped and used after training by clinicians.
