REBOOT #151 Anaphylaxis

Recognize common presentations of anaphylaxis and stop under-treating this deadly allergic reaction with tips from Dr. Olajumoke Fadugba, Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania! We review the basic pathophysiology and the standard criteria for diagnosing anaphylaxis, treatment basics, the primary importance of epinephrine, and the utility of adjunctive therapies. Also included are great tips on counseling patients about auto-injectable epinephrine, and a reminder not to panic…even when you inject your own thumb?! Original show notes here.
