Today, we discuss anaphylaxis. We look at the findings from the most recent NAP 6 regarding the incidences of anaphylaxis for specific triggers, presenting symptoms, and factors potentially predicting poorer patient outcomes. We also discuss anaphylaxis management and the anaphylaxis cards jointly developed by ANZCA and ANZAAG.
