K Scholar Graduate, Tim Dribin, MD, Co-Chairs Pioneering Study for Groundbreaking Consensus Report on Anaphylaxis

K Scholar Program graduate, Tim Dribin, MD, associate professor, CCHMC Division of Emergency Medicine, co-chaired a pioneering study that resulted in a groundbreaking consensus report on anaphylaxis.

Released by the Global Allergy and Asthma Excellence Network (GA2LEN), the new consensus report provides essential guidelines for healthcare providers, first responders, and allergists to improve the diagnosis and treatment of severe allergic reactions. This groundbreaking tool also includes critical updates for managing infants, emphasizing the importance of epinephrine use to save lives and reduce fatalities. The report reflects efforts of a 46-member panel of experts from 14 countries and seven medical specialties. The findings have received endorsements from 34 medical and patient advocacy organizations, and The National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the European Medicines Agency all participated in the study.
