About

Anaphylaxis can be frightening to any EMS provider, let alone the patient! It is crucial to promptly recognize and treat this high risk - low frequency life threatening emergency; and you don't have to be a paramedic to do it! This course will cover the pathophysiology behind anaphylaxis, as well as the treatments in our 'bag of tricks' in the TEMS region. All levels of certifications welcome.
