[A notice for use for patients who benifit from an adrenaline pen. "Having an emergency kit is a good thing but knowing how to use it is better"].
We realized that it is essential that the patient who has an auto injector also has the direction sheet in its emergency bag. Patients, families but also young medical doctors' remarks and reflexions led us to create an explanatory didactic, precise, illustrated and practical direction sheet. The goals are to gather succinct information about the patient (personal contact information, medical history); remind emergency numbers (15 or 112) and the emergency treatment (antihistamine, broncholitor if necessary, epinephrine shots). It also indicates step by step how to use the auto injector (Anapen) and emphasizes the need for a medical supervision if the shot has been used. We present this direction sheet and the way to use it.
