Anaphylaxis & Epinephrine Auto Injector Online Course

This online course will introduce you to the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis. It will provide you with the skills and knowledge necessary to care for a person having a severe allergic reaction.

When someone has an allergic reaction, their body releases a chemical called histamine. This chemical can cause a number of symptoms, including swelling, hives, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, this reaction is called anaphylaxis.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Epinephrine injection is the medication that is used to treat anaphylaxis. It works by reversing the effects of histamine.

You will learn how to administer epinephrine using an epinephrine auto-injector device, such as EpiPen and EpiPen jr. You will also learn other lifesaving techniques that could potentially be used in a life-threatening situation.

Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a medication that can be used in people with allergies when they experience a severe reaction. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and tightening the blood vessels.
