How to fill out management of anaphylaxis:

1. Recognize the symptoms: It is important to be able to identify the signs of anaphylaxis, which can include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, hives or rash, and a feeling of impending doom.
2. Call for emergency help: Anaphylaxis is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Dial emergency services or seek medical assistance immediately.
3. Administer epinephrine (adrenaline): If available, use an epinephrine auto-injector, such as an EpiPen, to deliver a dose of adrenaline to the person experiencing anaphylaxis. Follow the instructions provided with the auto-injector.
4. Stay with the person: It is important to stay with the person experiencing anaphylaxis and provide reassurance while waiting for medical help to arrive. Offer emotional support and monitor their condition closely.
5. Remove triggers if possible: If the trigger of the anaphylactic reaction is known and can be removed, such as a bee sting or certain food, try to eliminate further exposure to the trigger to prevent worsening symptoms.
6. Provide basic life support if necessary: If the person becomes unresponsive or stops breathing, initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following the appropriate guidelines.
