Prehospital Treatment and Emergency Department Outcomes in Young Children with Food Allergy.
Studies assessing food-induced allergic reactions and prehospital treatments in infants and young children are scarce. ⋯ Infants treated in the ED for FA reactions presented differently than older children. Most infants presented after first-known ingestion of offending foods. Overall, ED epinephrine use was low necessitating additional education to recognize and treat anaphylaxis in the ED.
