Goal
To improve the recognition of anaphylaxis, and the provision of appropriate treatment and follow-up care.
Scope
The Acute Anaphylaxis Clinical Care Standard relates to the care provided to adults, children and infants when they are experiencing anaphylaxis – from initial presentation to a healthcare setting or first clinical contact in the community, through to discharge and planning for follow-up care. It also applies to many patients who experience anaphylaxis while in a healthcare facility (see ‘What is not covered’).
