Conclusions
There is low certainty of evidence upon which to suggest the most
effective strategies for diagnosing, managing and preventing
anaphylaxis. Adrenaline is generally regarded as a life-saving
intervention, but due to ethical concerns, there is a lack of robust
studies backing up expert opinion about the efficacy and optimal way to
administer adrenaline. EAACI’s forthcoming anaphylaxis guidelines will
combine the findings from this review with expert opinion and other
evidence to suggest practical implications for health professionals,
teachers and families.
