Anaphylaxis Treatment Remains Confusing for Patients, Caregivers and Emergency Personnel

"Two new studies show many don’t understand management of severe allergic reactions"


"Although 95% of the respondents in the study were prescribed epinephrine and 73% said they were comfortable with recognizing anaphylaxis symptoms, only 14% of respondents said they were very likely to use epinephrine first for anaphylaxis. The following were barriers to using epinephrine:

  • Not sure which symptoms to treat (40.6%)

  • Hesitant to go to the emergency room (24%)

  • Hesitant to call 911 (17.7%)

  • Not sure how to use epinephrine auto-injectors (11.5%)

  • Feared needles (5.2%)"
