Management of a Patient with Anaphylaxis

This session will work through a case-based scenario of an anaphylaxis associated with allergen immunotherapy in the office. Elements of the patient’s history and physical exam findings will be used to determine the diagnosis. Treatment strategies will be discussed, with particular attention to allergy emergencies encountered in the clinical setting
This small group session will feature interactive teaching. We will work though a case of an episode of anaphylaxis triggered from allergy testing. It is important that ENTs offering allergy services be competent in the management of anaphylaxis. This is emphasized in the CPG: Allergen Immunotherapy with a strong recommendation that clinicians performing allergy skin testing or administering allergen immunotherapy must be able to diagnose and manage anaphylaxis
