Reducing unnecessary premedication prior to parenteral iron therapy: A quality improvement project
DISCUSSION: Although we did not reach our goal of a 50% reduction in inappropriate premedication use, opportunities for process improvements were uncovered and are being explored in the next cycle of this quality improvement project.PMID:37587736 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17502

Anaphylaxis:
After treating the acute anaphylactic reaction, the clinician ’s next task is to prevent a recurrence. The patient should be observed in the ED. How long this observation period should last depends on their clinical course, risk factors, and social support. All patients should be discharged with a prescription for 2 epinephrine autoinjectors and counseled on appropriate use. The patient should also receive education on the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and avoiding triggers. The patient should follow-up with an allergy specialist who can confirm triggers and provide immunotherapy as indicated.

Contextual Community Epinephrine Prescribing: Is More Always Better?
CONCLUSION: Anaphylaxis prevention involves appropriate education to avoid allergen triggers, recognize symptoms of an allergic reaction, rapidly access and administer intramuscular epinephrine, and appropriately activate emergency medical services when needed. For patients with prior anaphylaxis, particularly those who have required more than one dose of epinephrine to treat an allergic reaction, possessing multiple epinephrine devices is an important part of managing community anaphylaxis risk.PMID:37209832 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.05.012

Food Allergy Labeling Laws: International Guidelines for Residents and Travelers
AbstractThe prevalence of food allergies varies by country, as does each country ’s food allergen labeling. While labeling laws may vary by country, most follow the Codex Alimentarius. Even developing countries have some degree of labeling guidelines for food allergies, but it is highly developed countries that tend to implement stricter labeling regulations to protect their c itizens and tourists. Different organizations, both domestic and international, such as Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE), work to advance food allergen labeling laws around the globe. Eating out and traveling can be anxiety-provoking for ...

Penicillin delabeling
Penicillin allergy delabeling has undergone a renaissance in recent years. In the years after the return to the market of benzylpenicilloyl polylysine for skin testing in 2009, there have been local, national, and international campaigns to educate clinicians and the public on the large number of individuals inappropriately labeled as penicillin allergic. With a careful clinical history, many patients with a penicillin allergy label can be classified as “low risk,” indicating their risk of having anaphylaxis or a severe cutaneous reaction is low.

Allergist-Led Education Teaches First Responders How to Equip Schools to Treat Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis can impact any person and can occur anywhere, including schools. Because of this, it is important for communities to be prepared for allergy emergencies. Allergists and first responders can work together to widely reach their communities in impactful ways by teaching schools about anaphylaxis and epinephrine auto-injectors.

State and Non-Profit Organizations Collaborate to Provide Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Education to School Faculty and Staff, Enhancing School Safety Through a Free, Online Course
20% of children with food allergy have a reaction at school. Prompt recognition is critical to an effective response, so educators must be equipped to recognize and respond to anaphylaxis. When the Allison Rose Act was passed in Ohio in 2021, it encouraged the development of allergist-led, food allergy and anaphylaxis education for K-12 schools with professional development credit for educators. We then sought to expand our learning opportunities with an online, state-supported option for educators.

Time Does Not Heal : Analyzing Caregiver Attitudes Towards Children with Food Allergies and Anaphylaxis-Impact of Time
Education around the management of food allergy (FA) and anaphylaxis is essential. Caregiver stress in FA management is well known. Studying the impact of time from initial diagnosis and caregiver education in FA management may reveal whether time assists with psychosocial impact of FA.

Underuse of Epinephrine Autoinjectors in Anaphylaxis: Who Is to Blame?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewIdentify barriers to epinephrine autoinjector (EAI) use at the healthcare system, health care provider (HCP), and patient and caregiver levels.Recent FindingsEAI prescription, carriage, and use for the treatment of anaphylaxis remain suboptimal. The under-diagnosis of anaphylaxis contributes to suboptimal EAI prescription rates. The high costs of EAIs and concerns about their efficacy, safety, side effects, or convenience may prevent some patients from filling prescriptions or carrying EAIs or administering EAIs. Gaps in EAI training, knowledge, and skills persist among not only patients and caregi...
