Allergic reactions, including their more severe form, anaphylaxis, represent an exaggerated or hypersensitive response following exposure to any of a number of triggers or allergens, like food, medications, or pollen. Allergic and anaphylactic reactions are typically but not always mediated by the immune system and are most notable for the fact that many other people would not experience any such reaction when exposed to the same triggers. Anaphylaxis represents the more severe and potentially life-threatening form of an allergic reaction. Your ability to recognize and treat allergic reactions can mean the difference between life and death for some patients. In this course, we'll discuss how the immune system may trigger allergic reactions, anaphylaxis recognition and treatment, as well as epinephrine administration.

Anaphylaxis, diabetic emergencies, and opioid overdoses present potential life-threatening emergencies for patients. When these types of calls come, there is often little time to act. EMS providers, whether ALS or BLS, must be prepared to intervene to save the lives of their patients. In this course, we’ll explore the use of naloxone, epinephrine auto-injectors, and glucometers for BLS providers in EMS.

Regardless of the patient's age, the goal is the same - to provide safe and timely transport for the patient. There are crucial considerations EMS providers must implement when transporting pediatric patients in both emergent and non-emergent situations. In this course, we'll examine standards and recommendations from national organizations like the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), the DOT (Department of Transportation), and the CDC (Center for Disease Control).
