Get Allergies Anaphylaxis Medication Administration Form 2019-20

The benchmark in healthcare practice, before the administration of any medication, is to verify the patient's full name, medical record number and the documented 'known allergy' status. This practice ensures patient safety and prevents any potential ME-related harm (JCI, 2019).

We cannot guarantee a nut, milk or “allergen-free” environment, but we do have an “allergen aware” policy. Your child is less likely to be exposed to allergens at school when we work together to create a management plan for your child.

H1 and H2 antihistamines Although oral antihistamines are considered to be the mainstay of treatment for minor allergic reactions, their slow onset of action and limited effect on symptoms makes them a second- line agent for anaphylaxis (16–18).

H1 antihistamines — Epinephrine is first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, and there is no known equivalent substitute. H1 antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine or cetirizine) relieve itch and hives.

The allergy / sensitivity box on the medicines chart must state the allergy status of the patient. The box should never be left blank. If the allergies box has not been completed, medicines should not be administered and the prescription should be referred back to the prescriber.

Epinephrine is the medication of choice for the first-aid treatment of anaphylaxis. Through vasoconstrictor effects, it prevents or decreases upper airway mucosal edema (laryngeal edema), hypotension, and shock. In addition, it has important bronchodilator effects and cardiac inotropic and chronotropic effects.

Most drug allergies cause minor skin rashes and hives. These symptoms may occur right away or hours after receiving the drug. Serum sickness is a delayed type of reaction that occurs a week or more after you are exposed to a medicine or vaccine. Drug allergies can also be associated with low blood counts.

Incomplete or inaccurate drug-allergy histories can be detrimental to patient safety and lead to medication errors.

Epinephrine (1 mg/ml aqueous solution [1:1000 dilution]) is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be administered immediately. In adults, administer a 0.3 mg intramuscular dose using a premeasured or prefilled syringe, or an autoinjector, in the mid-outer thigh (through clothing if necessary).

International guidelines agree that adrenaline (epinephrine) is first line treatment for anaphylaxis.

Epinephrine is the only effective and first-line treatment for anaphylaxis.

If the patient's record of the details of the allergic reaction is incomplete or the patient is not provided with written information, then the patient may either remain at risk of inappropriately receiving the same or a cross-reacting drug again, sometimes with catastrophic consequences, or a different drug may be ...
