Abstract: Emergency physicians should be better able to recognise the clinical features of anaphylaxis, so as to treat the episode promptly and appropriately. Delay in diagnoses could lead to incomplete treatment and even be fatal.

“…Anaphylaxis was defined by the following ICD‐10 codes: T78.0 (food‐induced anaphylaxis), T78.2 (anaphylaxis, unspecified), and T88.6 (drug‐induced anaphylaxis). To avoid coding bias, we also analyzed whether anaphylaxis admission rates changed when including the ICD‐10 diagnostic code for angioedema (T78.3), as anaphylaxis may be miscoded as angioedema, particularly if under‐recognized . Admission rates were expressed as cases per 100,000 persons per year.…”

“…2) susijęs su alergine reakcija, medicininę dokumentaciją, nė vienam pacientui nebuvo diagnozuota anafilaksija ar anafilaksinis šokas, o įvertinus pagal klinikinius anafilaksijus kriterijus, juos atitiko 88 pacientai. Taigi anafilaksinės reakcijos dažnai klaidingai diagnozuojamos kaip tiesiog alerginės reakcijos [11]. Literatūroje duomenų apie tai, kuriai daliai pacientų anafilaksija buvo diagnozuota pagal atskirą klinikinį anafilaksijos kriterijų, rasti nepavyko.…”

“…diagnosticar e tratar corretamente (3,4,7,10) . corrobora com outros estudos, (7,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) que compararam o nível de conhecimento de profissionais de saúde sobre anafilaxia. Nestes, era esperado que o conhecimento fosse maior, visto que se tratavam de pessoas graduadas, porém, isso não foi o observado (7,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) .…”

“…Os anti-histamínicos irão atuar nos sintomas cutâneos e os betas agonistas aliviarão possíveis sintomas respiratórios (16,20) . Os corticoides, além de efeito anti-inflamatório, irão reduzir a ocorrência de reação bifásica, considerada como uma recidiva da reação inicial, que se desenvolve de 4 e até 72 horas após os sintomas iniciais, podendo ser mais grave e fatal (14).…”
