Anaphylaxis with Mansi Kotwal, MD (S4 Ep. 36)

Recognition of anaphylaxis can be difficult for some providers, and the courage to give epinephrine for treatment can be even more so.  Johns Hopkins Allergy & Immunology fellow, Dr. Mansi Kotwal, discusses the anaphylaxis presentation and diagnosis in ways you may not have considered.  And she reviews adjunct drugs for management in a way that might just change your practice.   References: Sampson, H.A., Muñoz-Furlong, A., Campbell, R.L., Adkinson, N.F., Bock, S.A., Branum, A., et al.
