DRAFT Anaphylaxis Practice Parameter Review

Dear College Member:

At the request of the Joint Task Force on Practice Parameters you are invited to review the DRAFT The Diagnosis and Management of Anaphylaxis Practice Parameter: 2008 Update. This is the third update of the original parameter which was released in 1998. The Joint Task Force will be taking comments until September 12, 2008. To provide your suggested revisions and/or comments please list the page and line number before your revision/recommendation and forward to Ms. Susan Grupe at  grupes@jcaai.org.  While you are free to use a word document offering comments referenced to the line number on the attached PDF file, you may find that it is easier to make remarks on top of the actual document. Using the editing PDF format will keep the line numbering sequence and allow us to superimpose the comments from the various reviewers. We have attached the directions that Adobe provides for this type of file.   Please take advantage of this opportunity to assist your colleagues in shaping the specialty. Click here for DRAFT.

The workgroup developing this document was lead by Dr. Philip Lieberman.  Other members of the workgroup include:  Drs. Dr. Stephen Kemp, Dr. John Oppenheimer, Dr. David Lang, Dr. David Bernstein, Dr. Jonathan Bernstein, Dr. A. Wesley Burks, Dr. Anna Feldweg, Dr. Jordan Fink, Dr. Paul Greenberger, Dr. David Golden, Dr. John James, Dr. Dennis Ledford, and Dr. Albert Sheffer.
