Dr. Nabil El Sanadi, Chief Medical Officer of Emergency Medicine at Broward Health, was a principal presenter at the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) annual meeting held in Orlando.

 

Allergists were presented with a case scenario of a patient suffering from an acute anaphylaxis reaction. The patient/actor was made up to appear to be suffering from cyanosis, pallor, hives and respiratory distress in reaction to a high dose of allergen during immunotherapy. Allergists were asked to provide acute management and pharmaceutical intervention to prevent cardiorespiratory arrest.
