Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan

Anaphylactic events are unpredictable so an emergency action plan is essential with clear instructions and contact information available. Caregivers, nannies, babysitters, relatives, spouses, friends or simply anybody in the sphere of influence should know of the anaphylaxis emergency action plan.

The document must be easily available , a wallet card, a poster, a written  document that is easily accessible and known to relevant people.

The information should include the at risk person’s name, photo, what causes anaphylaxis, symptoms likely to occur, location of  epinephrine auto injector, instructions on how to use the auto injector, ambulance contact details, cell phone numbers, local hospital details etc.

A sample action plan in the form of a fridge poster is shown here.

This poster may be available at your physicians office or local pharmacy, or as a download by clicking here:

MedicAlert® "speaks" for people experiencing anaphylaxis who may have difficulty speaking or who are unconscious. Paramedics are trained to look for this immediately.

The MedicAlert® bracelet or necklace is engraved with the person's medical condition, membership number and the MedicAlert 24-hour Emergency Response Center telephone number. This Center can provide further medical information and also calls the members' emergency contacts. Phoning MedicAlert® at 1- 800-668-1507 can be a lifesaving preventative step to take.
