Adrenaline Auto-Injector
Important Details about Adrenaline Auto-Injector
What is an adrenaline Auto-Injector?
In an emergency, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are treated with adrenaline auto-injectors. They can be used by anybody, including those without medical training, and are made to provide a single, set dosage of adrenaline.
Why is adrenaline important when treating a severe allergic reaction?
When someone is experiencing a severe allergic reaction, adrenaline helps to treat their extremely low blood pressure and poor circulation. It also lessens swelling, itching, and skin rashes while relaxing the lungs to facilitate breathing.
How do I use an EpiPen™ adrenaline Auto-Injector?
Use the EpiPen yourself if you are able to. Lay the individual flat on the ground if they are unable to operate the auto injector themselves. They can sit on the ground if they are having trouble breathing. From the carry tube, remove the Auto-Injector. Avoid touching the orange tip with your fingers or thumb. Holding the adrenaline Auto-Injector firmly in your fist, remove the blue safety release with the orange tip facing down.
Place the orange end on the outer mid-thigh while keeping the leg still. Maintain a straight angle between the Auto-Injector and the outside portion of your thigh. The injection can be administered through clothing, but keep seams and pockets free. Firmly press down until a click is felt or heard. For three seconds, hold. Take out the auto-injector for adrenaline. Note the moment the injection was administered. Anaphylaxis first aid should be followed while you call for an ambulance. If there is no improvement five minutes after the initial dose of adrenaline, more doses may be administered.
How do I use an Anapen™ adrenaline Auto-Injector?
Use the AnapenTM on your own if you are able. Lay the individual flat on the ground if they are unable to operate the auto injector themselves. They can sit on the ground if they are having trouble breathing. With a strong tug, remove the black needle shield. Take off the red firing button’s grey safety cap. Press the needle end’s open end up against the outside of your thigh. The injection can be administered through clothing, but keep seams and pockets free. Once the red firing button clicks, press it. For three seconds, hold. Remove the adrenaline auto-injector gradually. Note the moment the injection was administered. Anaphylaxis first aid should be followed while you call for an ambulance. If there is no improvement five minutes after the initial dose of adrenaline, more doses may be administered.

When should I use an adrenaline Auto-Injector?
If someone displays any of the following symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, you should use the adrenaline Auto-Injector right away: wheezing or persistent coughing, persistent dizziness and/or collapse, pale and floppy (in young children), difficult or noisy breathing, swelling of the tongue, swelling or tightness in the throat, difficulty talking and/or hoarse voice.
The following foods, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, wheat, and soy, as well as insect bites and stings, are the most common causes of severe allergic reactions. Drugs: It’s best to provide an adrenaline auto-injector to someone even if you’re not sure if they need one. Anaphylaxis can be fatal if left untreated. If administered excessively, adrenaline doesn’t have any major negative consequences, but it can save lives. Use the adrenaline auto-injector first, then the asthma medication, if you are unsure if the person is experiencing an asthma attack or anaphylaxis. As an ambulance arrives, continue providing first aid for anaphylactic and asthma patients. Call for help.
