Delayed administration of epinephrine (adrenaline), the first line and only effective treatment for a systemic allergic reaction (SAR) and anaphylaxis, is associated with increased mortality. Despite this, epinephrine is underutilized. Two important factors accounting for this underutilization are a lack of consensus as to when it should be administered and an inappropriate fear of using epinephrine and potential adverse effects from the medication. Epinephrine is safe and effective in doses included in pre-filled syringes for self-administration. The authors emphasize that SARs and anaphylaxis should be considered as a spectrum, and that affected individuals be educated on its safety and repeatedly given instructions as to when and how epinephrine should be utilized at the first symptoms or signs of a SAR and anaphylaxis. |
