The new web-based audio-visual anaphylaxis
recognition-and-response tool teaches users how to promptly and
effectively respond to anaphylactic emergencies
MILWAUKEE, July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new anaphylaxis
toolkit from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma &
Immunology (AAAAI) empowers patients, caregivers and medical staff
to recognize the signs of anaphylaxis and implement practices that
provide immediate, life-saving support to those experiencing
anaphylaxis.
Developed by leading experts in allergy,
asthma and immunology, the Anaphylaxis Interactive Learning Guide
consolidates evidence-based resources and makes them accessible to
the public.
Despite anaphylactic allergies impacting millions of Americans,
the development and implementation of educational resources on the
subject are often inaccessible and unavailable to the public. To
address these barriers to anaphylaxis educational materials, the
AAAAI recently unveiled the Anaphylaxis Interactive Learning Guide,
a new web-based tool for educating the public about recognizing and
responding to anaphylaxis emergencies.
This unique, interactive tool allows users to test their
abilities in recognizing anaphylactic emergencies, to explore their
knowledge on the signs of anaphylaxis including lesser-known
symptoms and to learn the steps needed based on presented symptoms.
Developed and reviewed by leading experts in allergy, asthma and
immunology, the Anaphylaxis Interactive Learning Guide consolidates
evidence-based resources and makes them accessible to the
public.
The Anaphylaxis Interactive Learning Guide should be used
alongside education from a certified allergist/immunologist. If you
think you've experienced anaphylaxis or need to see a
board-certified allergist to discuss your anaphylaxis treatment
plan, you can locate an allergist/immunologist close to you in this
AAAAI directory.
More information about the tool and anaphylaxis educational
resources is available here.
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI)
is the leading membership organization of more than 7,100
allergists, asthma specialists, clinical immunologists, allied
health professionals and other professionals with a special
interest in the research and treatment of allergic and immunologic
diseases. Established in 1943, the AAAAI has more than 7,100
members in the United States,
Canada and 72 other countries and
is the go-to resource for patients living with allergies, asthma
and immune deficiency disorders.
