Understanding Anaphylaxis
This lesson explains what anaphylaxis is and why it is a medical emergency. Learners explore how anaphylaxis affects the body, the difference between mild allergic reactions and severe reactions, and the importance of rapid response to prevent serious harm or death.

  • 1. What is Anaphylaxis?
  • 2. Why is it a Medical Emergency?
  • 3. Mild vs. Severe Reactions
  • 4. The Importance of Rapid Response
  • Understanding Anaphylaxis

Causes, Triggers, and Risk Factors
This lesson focuses on identifying the specific substances that can trigger a life-threatening reaction and the underlying factors that make certain individuals more vulnerable to severe outcomes. By understanding that a "trigger" is the cause and a "risk factor" is what makes the situation more dangerous, care professionals can better manage individual care plans and act with the necessary urgency when a high-risk person is exposed.

Recognising Signs and Symptoms
This lesson focuses on recognising the early and advanced signs of anaphylaxis. Learners examine symptoms such as swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, wheezing, dizziness, collapse, and loss of consciousness, and understand how symptoms can escalate rapidly.

Immediate Response and Emergency Management
Learners are guided through the correct actions to take during an anaphylactic emergency. This includes calling emergency services, positioning the individual safely, administering prescribed emergency medication where trained and authorised, monitoring the person, and following organisational emergency procedures.
