    1.1 What are allergies?

    An allergy is when the immune system reacts to substances(allergens) in the environment which are usually harmless, such asfood, pollens, dust mites and insects.

    This results in the production of allergy antibodies.

    Antibodies are proteins in the immune system which identify andreact with foreign substances.

    1.2 What is an allergic reaction?

    An allergic reaction is when someone develops symptoms such ashives, swelling of the lips, eyes or face, vomiting or wheeze

    following exposure to an allergen.

    Only some people with allergy antibodies will develop symptomsfollowing exposure to the allergen.

    Allergic reactions range from mild to severe.

    Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction.

    1.3 Food allergy or intolerance?

    There is often confusion about the difference between foodallergy and food intolerance.

    Symptoms of food intolerance can sometimes resemble those ofmild or moderate food allergy.

    Unlike food allergy, food intolerance does not involve the immunesystem and does not result in anaphylaxis.

    2/20

    Diagnosis of food allergy and risk of anaphylaxis should always bemedically confirmed.

    1.4 What is anaphylaxis?

    Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction.

    Symptoms can start within minutes of exposure.

    Progress of reaction can be very rapid at any time over a periodof two hours from exposure to the allergen.

    Anaphylaxis is potentially life-threatening and must ALWAYS betreated as a medical emergency.

    Diagnosis of individuals at risk of anaphylaxis should always bemedically confirmed.

    1.5 Signs and symptoms of allergic reactions and

    anaphylaxis

    Mild to moderate allergic reactions can involve the skin andgastrointestinal system.

    Anaphylaxis involves the respiratory system and/or cardiovascularsystem, however, skin and gastrointestinal symptoms may also

    (but not always) occur.

    1.6 Risk factors for fatal anaphylaxis

    Mild to moderate and even severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)are common.

    Deaths from anaphylaxis are rare.

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    3/20

    Deaths from anaphylaxis are highest in teenagers and youngadults whilst eating away from home.

    Deaths from anaphylaxis have often occurred in situations wherethe emergency medication has not been readily available and/or

    has not been administered in a timely manner.

    Individuals with asthma and severe food allergy are at increasedrisk of anaphylaxis.

    Previous mild or moderate allergic reactions may not rule out

    subsequent severe or fatal allergic reactions.

    It is rare for deaths to occur if the individual is given adrenaline in atimely manner and as instructed.

    1.7 Common causes of anaphylaxis food

    Peanuts, eggs, milk, tree nuts (such as hazelnuts, cashews,almonds), soy, wheat, fish, shellfish and sesame are the mostcommon food allergens.

    Whilst these foods cause 90% of allergic reactions to foods, anyfood may cause an allergic reaction.

    Sensitivity to food allergens is variable so it is important that food

    allergy is confirmed by a medical practitioner before risk

    minimisation strategies are considered.

    1.8 Peanut allergy

    Whilst egg and milk are more common food allergies, peanutallergy is the most common cause of deaths from food-related

    anaphylaxis.

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    4/20

    Peanut allergy is increasingly common, particularly in children(rates have doubled in the last 10 years) and is now seen in

    approximately 1 in 50 children and 1 in 200 adults.

    Small amounts of peanut can cause an allergic reaction inextremely sensitive individuals.

    Not all people with peanut allergy have severe reactions.

    1.9 Common causes of anaphylaxis stings, bites

    and medications

    Insects - Bee, wasp and jumper ant stings are the most common

    insect allergens. Ticks and fire ants also cause anaphylaxis in

    susceptible individuals.

    Medications Pain killers and antibiotics are the most common

    medication and allergens.

    2.1 Allergic reactions can be mild to moderate or

    severe (anaphylaxis)

    Sometimes an allergic reaction can start as mild to moderate, butcan progress to severe (anaphylaxis).

    Some individuals will experience signs and symptoms ofanaphylaxis without having mild to moderate symptoms

    beforehand.

    2.2 Signs and symptoms of mild to moderate

    allergic reaction

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    5/20

    Swelling of lips, face, eyes. Hives or welts. Tingling mouth. Abdominal pain, vomiting (these are signs of a severe allergic

    reaction to insects).

    2.3 Action for mild to moderate allergic reaction

    Stay with child or adult and call for help - do not leave child oradult unattended.

    Give medications if prescribed (such as non-sedatingantihistamine).

    Locate adrenaline autoinjector (if available). Contact parent/guardian (or other emergency contact).

    It is important to stay with the child or adult and watch for any signs

    of anaphylaxis. Mild to moderate signs can present first and then

    progress to anaphylaxis.

    Antihistamines The human body releases many chemical substances that cause

    allergic reactions histamine is only one of the chemicals and this

    is why antihistamines are sometimes used to treat mild to

    moderate allergic reactions (such as hives) but are not an effective

    treatment for anaphylaxis.

    2.4 Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis

    Watch for any one of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis: Difficult/noisy breathing. Swelling of tongue. Swelling/tightness in throat. Difficulty talking and/or hoarse voice. Wheeze or persistent cough.

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    6/20

    Persistent dizziness or collapse. Pale and floppy (young children).

    Unlike food allergy, abdominal pain and vomitingare SEVERE symptoms for those experiencing an

    allergic reaction to insects.

    2.5 Action for anaphylaxis

    Lay the child or adult flat. Do not allow them to stand or walk. Ifbreathing is difficult, allow them to sit.

    Give the adrenaline autoinjector immediately. Phone ambulance - 000 (Australia), 111 (New Zealand), 112

    (mobile).

    Contact the parent/guardian or other emergency contact. Note the time the adrenaline autoinjector was given. If the needle is exposed, place used adrenaline autoinjector into

    safe container (e.g. hard plastic lunch box) to give to ambulance

    officers. Calm and reassure the child or adult.If in doubt, give the adrenaline autoinjector.

    It is important to take the medication to the child or adult rather

    than move them as they should not stand or walk.

    2.6 It is important to lay the child or adult flat

    Having the child or adult in an upright position can lead toinsufficient blood returning to the heart, leaving the heart with no

    blood to pump.

    Laying them flat (and if possible elevating their legs) will improveblood return to the heart.

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    7/20

    If breathing is difficult, allow to the child or adult to sit but notstand.

    If vomiting, lay the child or adult on their side (recovery position).

    2.7 Further adrenaline autoinjector doses may be

    given if

    Occasionally, it may be necessary to use a second adrenaline

    autoinjector if available, when: There is no improvement after 5 minutes. Symptoms of anaphylaxis continue to progress. Symptoms resolve and then recur.

    If the child or adult does not have a second adrenaline autoinjector

    and there is an adrenaline autoinjector for general use, this can be

    used.

    Advice from the local education and/or health authorities should be

    sought regarding adrenaline autoinjectors for general use.

    Further information about adrenaline autoinjectors for general use:www.allergy.org.au/health-professionals/anaphylaxis-

    resources/adrenaline-autoinjectors-for-general-use

    2.8 Is it anaphylaxis or asthma?

    If the child or adult is known to be at risk of anaphylaxis and you are

    unsure whether they are experiencing anaphylaxis or severe asthma:

    Give the adrenaline autoinjector first.

    Then give asthma reliever medication.

    Phone ambulance - 000 (Australia), 111 (New Zealand), 112(mobile).

    Continue asthma first aid.

    Follow their ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis.

    2.9 Action for anaphylaxis without a prescribed

    adrenaline autoinjector

    Lay the child or adult flat. Do not allow them to stand or walk. Ifbreathing is difficult, allow them to sit.

    If you have an adrenaline autoinjector for general use, give itimmediately.

    Phone ambulance 000 (Australia), 111 (New Zealand), 112(mobile).

    If unconscious and not breathing, commence CPR. Contact parent/guardian or other emergency contact.For children aged approximately 1-5 years a 0.15 mg (green labelled)

    adrenaline autoinjector is generally used.

    Advice from the local education and/or health authorities should be

    sought regarding adrenaline autoinjectors for general use.

    3.1 Adrenaline is the only effective treatment for

    anaphylaxis

    Adrenaline: is a hormone that is produced naturally in the human body.

    is very safe when given as instructed via an adrenalineautoinjector.

    assists breathing, maintains heart function and blood pressure. works in minutes and lasts approximately 10-20 minutes. may need to be repeated. reverses a severe allergic reaction and can be life saving.

    If in doubt, give the adrenaline autoinjector. If anaphylaxis is

    suspected, not giving the adrenaline autoinjector can be more

    harmful than giving it, even when it may not have been necessary.

    Transient (temporary) side effects of adrenaline such as increasedheart rate, trembling and paleness are to be expected. Therefore,

    someone may look unwell even after the adrenaline autoinjector has

    been given. Further doses of adrenaline should only be given when

    signs of anaphylaxis are still present.

    3.2 Adrenaline autoinjectors...

    are automatic injectors containing a SINGLE fixed dose ofadrenaline.

    are designed for use by non-medical people.

    should be injected into the outer mid-thigh muscle.

    can be administered through a single layer of clothing (not seamsor pockets).

    should be stored in an easily accessible, unlocked location with anASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis.

    should be clearly labelled with the name of the child or adult.

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    10/20

    If carried by the person, an ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis should

    be with the adrenaline autoinjector.

    3.8 EpiPen is different to the EpiPen trainerdevice

    EpiPen trainers are used to practise giving the real EpiPen.

    Unlike the EpiPen trainer, the real EpiPen has:

    a single pre-measured dose of adrenaline. an expiry date. a window which allows you to check if adrenaline is discoloured. a louder click than the EpiPen trainer device. a stronger spring action than the EpiPen trainer device (remember

    to hold firmly against the outer mid thigh).

    a different colour (the trainer device has a grey label).

    3.14 How to position a very small child whilegiving an

    A very small child who is conscious and requires restraint may need

    to be held on the adults lap if there is only one person available.

    3.16 Self administration of adrenaline

    autoinjectors

    Older children or adults may be comfortable sitting while the

    adrenaline autoinjector is being given or if they are able to give it to

    themselves, whilst being supervised by an adult.

    In many cases the child or adult will be too unwell to self administerand someone else will need to give the adrenaline autoinjector.

    3.17 Adrenaline autoinjectors frequently asked

    questions

    Question:If I don't think its worked or I pull the adrenaline autoinjector out

    too quickly, can I stick it back in?

    Answer:No. The device is automatic and therefore can only be used once.

    The adrenaline is automatically expelled once the device is activated.

    It can only be activated once.

    Question:Should I use an expired adrenaline autoinjector if it is the only one

    available?

    Answer:Expired adrenaline autoinjectors are not as effective when used for

    treating anaphylaxis. However, an expired adrenaline autoinjector

    should be used in preference to not using one at all.

    14/20

    Knowing the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction. Being familiar with the use of an adrenaline autoinjector. Ensuring they have ready access to their adrenaline autoinjector. Ensuring their adrenaline autoinjector is within its expiry date.

    5.4 To support a student diagnosed at risk of

    anaphylaxis, schools should

    Seek information from the parent about allergies that affect theirchild as part of health information at enrolment and as part of

    regular health updates. Where this or any other information

    indicates a student has an allergy or is at risk of anaphylaxis,

    schools use Appendix 1 in Anaphylaxis Guidelines for Schools.

    Ensure an individual health care plan has been developed inconsultation with the students doctor, relevant staff,

    parent/guardian and student. Individual health care plans arereviewed at least annually.

    Ensure staff have anaphylaxis training and keep an updatedregister of staff who have completed training.

    Ensure safety in each school activity, with strategies in place tominimise the risk of exposure to known allergens.

    Develop risk management strategies, including for schoolexcursions.

    Ensure the school anti-bullying plan is inclusive of students withallergies.

    5.5 Anaphylaxis training options for NSW schools

    Schools need to arrange anaphylaxis training for staff wherestudents in the school have been diagnosed to be at risk of

  • 7/29/2019 Anaphylaxis Training

    Minimise exposure to known food allergens. Implement age appropriate avoidance strategies for routine and

    non routine activities (consider, for example, meal times, special

    occasions and excursions).

    Identify foods used in activities that contain known allergens andreplace with other suitable foods.

    Avoid sharing food or eating utensils (close supervision may berequired for younger students at meal times).

    Keep surfaces clean and prevent cross-contamination duringhandling, preparation and serving of food.

    Promote good communication between parent/guardian, staffand student.

    5.10 Prevention strategies insects

    Specify play areas that are lowest risk and encourage the studentand peers to play in these areas.

    Decrease number of plants in school grounds that attract bees. Ensure students wear appropriate clothing and shoes when

    outdoors.

    Be aware of bees in pools, around water and in grassed or gardenareas.

    Avoid drinking from open drink containers, particularly those thatcontain sweet drinks.

    To help prevent tick bites, cover skin and shake clothing onceindoors.

    5.11 On excursions, supervising staff need to... Know which students are at risk of anaphylaxis and the known

    allergens.

    Know what risk minimisation strategies are in place. Issues such asthe administration of prescribed emergency medication and risk

    management strategies need to be considered when planning and

    organising an excursion. Have the adrenaline autoinjector and ASCIA Action Plan for

    Anaphylaxis readily available.

    Know when and how to give the adrenaline autoinjector.

    5.12 Legal liability of staff administering

    medication

    School education authorities have a duty of care to takereasonable steps to keep students safe at school and this includes

    administration of adrenaline autoinjectors and any other

    emergency care when a student has signs of anaphylaxis.

    A legal principle called vicarious liability means that school staffacting in the course of their employment enjoy full legal

    protection, in the unlikely event of a student suffering injury as a

    result of emergency treatment of anaphylaxis.

    5.13 Summary of important points

    Anaphylaxis is potentially life threatening and should always betreated as a medical emergency.
