Anaphylaxis is an acute, severe life-threatening allergic reaction. It is vital for any physician to recognise signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis as its emergent management can save a life! Death from anaphylaxis is rare, and fatal anaphylaxis rates are estimated at 0.064-0.099 deaths, per 100,000 population per annum.
This module will offer an introduction to anaphylaxis, its pathophysiology, signs and symptoms - i.e. early recognition, and an evidence-based management algorithm. This module is key for all physicians, and aspiring clinicians to understand.
