Article Synopsis
- - Current guidelines suggest observing anaphylactic patients for 4-6 hours after receiving epinephrine, but there's conflicting evidence about its effectiveness, especially for children.
- - This study looked at pediatric patients treated for anaphylaxis in a single ED from 2017-2022 to see how often biphasic reactions occurred and if the observation periods were adequate.
- - Out of 292 patients observed for an average of about 233 minutes, only 3.4% developed biphasic reactions, with no significant differences found in observation duration or timing of epinephrine administration between those who did and did not experience these reactions.
Rural populations experience a number of disparities that place them at increased risk of morbidity and mortality related to chronic disease, including lower health literacy and greater distance to medical care. Community-based free healthcare education can offer targeted preventive care to these vulnerable populations; however, limited quantitative research exists measuring their impact, specifically on health literacy and likelihood for behavior change. To investigate this, a student-led health education clinic was held in January 2023 in the rural community of Lykens, Pennsylvania by the Student-run and Collaborative Outreach Program for Health Equity (SCOPE).
