Webinar: Know it. Treat it.: Taking control of anaphylaxis – in 2 weeks!
September 24 @ 12-1pm EDT
When a severe allergic reaction happens, you need to act promptly. But knowing what to look for — and how to respond — can make all the difference. Join us for an interactive session with Dr. Wade Watson who will use a scenario-based approach to help you build your skills and confidence in identifying and treating anaphylaxis.
We’ll break down the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, clarify when and why to use epinephrine instead of antihistamines like Benadryl®, and give you the tools to act quickly and confidently. You will also be presented with different scenarios to test your knowledge.
