Anaphylaxis Sample Clauses

Anaphylaxis. Has your child been diagnosed by a physician with a LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGY? ☐ Yes ☐ No

Anaphylaxis. Employees who attend in-service programs which are not identified as compulsory by the Employer shall suffer no loss of regular earnings for attending such programs.

Anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is an extreme and severe allergic reaction. The whole body is affected, often within minutes of exposure to the substance which causes the allergic reaction (allergen) but sometimes after several hours. Introduction

Anaphylaxis. Neonatal Conditions, because of time urgency during certain postpartal situations, it may be necessary to institute emergency interventions while waiting for physician consultation. These conditions include but are not limited to:

Anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can be caused by foods, insect stings, medications, latex or other substances. At the time of registration, parents are asked about medical conditions, including whether children are at risk of anaphylaxis and asthma. All staff, students and volunteers must be aware of these children. If there is a child with an Anaphylactic reaction to food and/or product, i.e. latex, you will be notified and asked to not send your child with whatever that item may be. For example, if there is a peanut allergy and your child has had peanut butter for breakfast we ask that you ensure that all traces are washed from their face, clothes and hands and their teeth brushed before coming to the program. If your child has an allergy that requires an Epi-Pen, you will be asked to review our Anaphylaxis Policy and obtain certain documentation from your child’s physician. A full Anaphylaxis Policy is available at your child care program. Parents may wish to make special dietary and feeding arrangements regarding food/drink in order to meet the individual nutritional needs of their child. This may include an arrangement where the parent chooses to provide the meals and/or snacks for the child, or the parent supplements the meals and snacks provided by the program. Where a child requires special foods and/or feeding arrangements at meal times and/or snack times, it is important that the expectations and responsibilities of both the program and the parent are clearly set in writing.

Anaphylaxis. Those pupils with a medical diagnosis of anaphylaxis and who have been prescribed an adrenaline auto-injector:

Anaphylaxis. In the UK, 17% of fatal allergic reactions in school-aged children happen while at school. From 1 October 2017 the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 allowed all schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) devices without a prescription, for emergency use in children who are at risk of anaphylaxis but their own device is not available or not working (e.g. because it is broken, or out-of-date). The school’s spare AAI should only be used on pupils known to be at risk of anaphylaxis, for whom both medical authorisation and written parental consent for use of the spare AAI has been provided. The school’s spare AAI can be administered to a pupil whose own prescribed AAI cannot be administered correctly without delay. If your child is in one of the groups below consider signing the consent form.

Anaphylaxis. There are students in our school who have a life-threatening allergy to nuts, sesame seeds, and other allergens which can cause an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction that is so severe that it can cause death. The throat closes and the child cannot breathe. Even contact with trace amounts of the nut allergen (through ingestion or touch) can trigger this type of reaction. The ONLY way to ensure a safe environment is to avoid bringing nut and nut products onto the school premises. To do this, we need everyone’s cooperation. Isolating students with anaphylaxis from the rest of the student population during lunch time does not solve the concern because upon their return to class a reaction is possible. For example, since children tend to play in such close proximity to each other, contact from someone’s sticky peanut butter covered fingers is possible. As well, peanut butter or crumbs from cookies or chocolate bars, etc., can be left on rugs, desks, chairs, books or other school equipment, no matter how hard we try to clean these areas. When the child returns to class, a severe reaction is possible. Avoidance is the key in preventing the occurrence of these reactions. It is for this reason that we ask for your co-operation in refraining from sending peanut and nut products and by-products, as well as food containing sesame seeds or sesame oil, to school. We rely on you supporting us in this regard to reduce the risk factor. Please check the ingredients label on any food you may send with your child for lunch or snack to ensure that peanuts/tree nuts/sesame seeds are not listed in the ingredients. Also ensure, that there is no warning of “may contain traces of peanuts/tree nuts” or “manufactured in a facility that handles peanuts/tree nuts”. The warning may vary between manufacturers but they will identify if there is a risk that the food product contains nuts. Examples of tree nuts are almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashew etc. If there is no warning on the ingredients label and no peanut/tree nuts listed, then you may send the food item for your child. With respect to sesame seed products, please note that products such as tahini contain sesame seeds, as do several varieties of humus. We also request that you avoid sending home-made foods containing nuts, nut products or sesame seeds. We encourage you to choose nutritional items such as yogurt, fresh fruit and vegetables and Sandwiches/Wraps made with cheese. We respectfully ask that your ch...
