Recenzje

(Christopher Brasher, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 132 (3), March, 2021)

This book serves as a comprehensive but concise, practical, in-depth resource for practitioners who see and treat anaphylaxis. It meets the market need for a reference that relays an advanced understanding of the condition and its management.

 

This unique reference covers management beyond the basics, including discussions around prevention of biphasic anaphylaxis, optimal post-stabilization protocols and how to work up intraoperative anaphylaxis. Additionally, various chapters delve into the practical application of equipping one’s office for the management of anaphylaxis, specifically in the setting of a reaction to a food challenge or immunotherapy injection.

 

Anaphylaxis: A Practical Guide is an essential resource for allergists, emergency room physicians, and pediatricians, and those in training to become members of these specialties.
