This week we focus on: Community Response to Severe Allergic Reactions   Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction and has the potential to cause death. Epinephrine is the first line of treatment to respond to severe reactions and the placement of auto injectors that talk can be correlated with the placement of automated external defibrillators in public settings. The wall mounted  cabinets have two auto injectors of the medicine, one for a child and one for an adult. http://www.allerject.ca/en/back-to-school-2015 "A New Brunswick Community is taking a lead in helping to save the lives of those with severe allergies. The Town of Sussex is putting epinephrine auto-injectors into numerous locations including schools and businesses. This makes them easily accessible in the case of a severe allergic reaction. Nurse Practitioner Kelly Dunfield says they are the first community in Canada to do this. She says, "We are still rolling this project out, but in the Sussex and area, they have the auto-injectors at 24 sites and in various schools." The epinephrine auto-injectors are used to treat life threatening allergic reactions. Dunfield says their hope is to encourage other communities to do the same" - See more at: http://919thebend.ca/news/992854900/town-sussex-helping-those-severe-allergic-reactions#sthash.PRn1pjK0.dpuf "A nurse practitioner hopes to prevent needless deaths from severe allergic reactions by installing publicly accessible auto injectors of epinephrine in prominent locations in Sussex, N.B.Kelly Dunfield, 51, and her son Robert Dunfield, a 22-year-old medical student, have already arranged for the installation of 30 cabinets with two auto injectors of the medicine — one for a child and one for an adult — in 24 locations ranging from golf courses to fire stations.She says the program was inspired by the increasing use of publicly accessible defibrillators, which have saved the lives of people who suffer sudden heart attacks" - See more at: http://www.coastreporter.net/nurse-sets-up-easy-access-auto-injectors-to-help-with-severe-allergic-reactions-1.2048083#sthash.423eXteF.dpuf http://www.epipen.ca/ What is epipen?   http://www.epipen.ca/en/about-epipen/what-is-epipen I do have the How-to guide from Kelly Dunfield if you wish a copy or more information.
