Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis: A Practical Guide is a concise but in-depth reference for clinicians who see and treat patients with anaphylaxis. It aims to give practitioners an advanced understanding of the condition and how it is managed.

The book goes past the basics of management. It discusses how to prevent biphasic anaphylaxis, what protocols to follow once a patient has been stabilized, and how to work up a case of intraoperative anaphylaxis.

Several chapters are devoted to practical matters, such as how to equip an office to handle anaphylaxis, particularly when a reaction occurs during a food challenge or after an immunotherapy injection.

The book is written for allergists, emergency room physicians and pediatricians, as well as trainees in these specialties.
