Hi,
I am a professional lifeguard, a rescue diver, PHTLS advanced provider and hopefuly soon an EMT.
I work most of the time outdoors, in the U.S. at a summer camp, and in Argentina at different locations. Though they're not always remote locations, EMS is not always immediatly available.
I would like to know which is the best Pre-hospital Emeregency Treatment for an Anaphylactic Shock.
I've seen in the U.S. the most widely used one is the Epynephrine kit (like Eppy-pen). In Argentina, since EMS is not as advanced, there are no real Paramedic or EMTs. Ambulances are staffed by a driver, an assistant and (and sometimes) a doctor. Many doctors here recommend Corticoids kit as the treatment method for Anaphylactic Shock.
I will appreciate any comment regarding this issue, just to know what your agencies are using and why.
Thank you in advance for your interest in this message,
