Abstract
- Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening medical emergency. Although it is uncommon, when it does occur prompt recognition and appropriate treatment are essential. This article describes how a multidisciplinary working party review of practices concerning the management of anaphylaxis in an acute hospital trust led to the introduction of standardised anaphylaxis emergency boxes.
