The R. Skill update added intramuscular epinephrine given via an auto‑injector device (e.g., EpiPen‑type) as the form to be used for anaphylaxis and epinephrine administration.
Context
R. Skill’s anaphylaxis skill focuses on first‑line treatment with epinephrine delivered by auto‑injector into the anterolateral thigh, which aligns with current emergency and allergy guidelines that prefer IM auto‑injectors for rapid, reliable dosing and fewer errors. Other routes (IV, SC, nebulized) and ampoule‑and‑syringe administration remain more advanced or physician‑directed options and were not the newly added form in this skills curriculum.
