Evaluation and Management of Anaphylaxis in the Emergency Department.

The article "Evaluation and Management of Anaphylaxis in the Emergency Department" discusses the challenges faced by emergency physicians in diagnosing and treating anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction with diverse presentations. The incidence of anaphylaxis is increasing globally, with food being the most common trigger. Prompt administration of epinephrine is crucial in treating anaphylaxis, and delayed administration is associated with increased mortality. Patients with anaphylaxis may not always present with a chief complaint of an allergic reaction. Further research is needed to establish diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines for anaphylaxis.
