Anaphylactic Reaction Prevention
Primarily a lack of contact with the allergen.
Prevention is based primarily on:
The final eviction of the allergen in question when it was identified, hence the importance of questioning and the investigation after an anaphylactic accident to identify the offending allergen. It will generally be given to the patient card and a list of allergies to avoid products formally. In patients at high risk of exposure, desensitization may sometimes be suggested by an allergist.
Knowledge by the patient and his entourage of conduct to be detailed to follow in case of accidental contact with the allergen: when in doubt, contact a doctor or call the SAMU (15).
Patients are generally advised to always have at hand a self-injection kit of adrenaline subcutaneously and learn to use it if necessary, until the rescue team arrives on site.
