A severe allergic reaction can develop quickly, so knowing what to do in an emergency is essential.
This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide gives parents, carers and educators a clear overview of adrenaline devices, including EpiPen, Jext and nasal adrenaline.
The guide covers:
• Symptoms affecting the airway, breathing and circulation
• How different adrenaline devices are used
• Why the patient should lie down and remain still
• The importance of calling 999
• Why two devices should always be carried
It also reinforces a vital message: using adrenaline promptly is always better than waiting.
