Recognizing the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis can kill in minutes, and the treatment — epinephrine — works only if someone administers it fast. This one-hour American Red Cross Skill Boost teaches your team to recognize a severe allergic reaction and use an epinephrine auto-injector such as an EpiPen without hesitating.
Severe allergic reactions do not wait for a nurse to arrive. The people most likely to be standing there when one happens are teachers, coaches, camp staff, food-service workers, childcare providers, and workplace first-aid responders.
This Skill Boost is built for school and childcare staff, camps and youth sports organizations, restaurants and food-service teams, workplace safety and first-aid responders, and any Michigan employer whose staff or customers may have a known severe allergy.
Many Michigan schools and childcare programs need documented epinephrine training as a matter of policy. We can deliver it onsite and certify your whole team in an afternoon.
EpiPen training teaches you to recognize anaphylaxis — a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction — and to administer epinephrine using an auto-injector. Our course is a one-hour American Red Cross Skill Boost with hands-on practice using trainer devices.
