Description
2009 Inhalant Allergies on DigiVision :: 17 Lectures, 2 Full Days
This course will provide the practitioner with a comprehensive and complete program with which to assess and treat complex inhalant allergies in the office setting. You will learn how to confirm clinical suspicions and determine the levels of sensitivity with quantitative intradermal and sublingual testing for specific allergens.
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss the model of environmental medicine and contrast it with the conventional model of medicine;
- Describe how antigens are manufactured, quality controlled, their terminology, and what standardization means;
- Articulate an understanding of the basic immunology involved in inhalant immunotherapy;
- Describe how to confirm clinical suspicions and determine the levels of sensitivity with quantitative intradermal or sublingual testing for specific allergens;
- Set up an allergy treatment plan;
- Prepare patient's antigen vial(s) for immunotherapy;
- Discuss how to manage common difficulties in the administration of immunotherapy;
- Describe the practical items to help in controlling environmental exposures;
- Articulate how to prevent, recognize and treat and adverse or anaphylactic reaction.
