"Food Allergy Research & Education Survey Shows Inconsistencies in Treatment of Life-threatening Allergic Reactions"

http://www.foodallergy.org/press-room/2014/090414

QuoteTreatment of allergic reactions in the emergency setting can be inconsistent and unpredictable, according to the results of a new Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) patient survey about experiences with emergency department (ED) and emergency medical services (EMS) for serious allergic reactions.

QuoteMore than 2,800 individuals – parents/caregivers of children with food allergies or individuals with food allergies – in 45 states completed FARE's online survey.

QuoteThe data collected from this survey will be shared with experts and participants next month at FARE's Emergency Management of Anaphylaxis Summit to help shed light on real patient experiences and inform the development of an actionable plan for improving patient experience and outcomes with emergency responders and emergency departments.
