EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Dear Dr. __________________________, We at Eastern Kentucky University Student Health Services are happy to administer allergy injections to your patient,_____________________. We must, however, clarify the conditions under which these shots are given. The serum, upon receipt by SHS, is immediately refrigerated. When the patient presents at our clinic, vital signs specified by his/her allergist are obtained. After ensuring that a physician is immediately available if needed, serum is drawn up by an RN or CMA (according to dosing chart provided by your office), and administered using aseptic technique. The patient is then observed for at least 20 minutes for any adverse reaction, and discharged only after inspection of the injection site, and general evaluation of the patient, by an RN or a CMA reveals no problems. In the event of an adverse reaction, we have available at our clinic sq epinephrine 1:1000 dilution, IM Benadryl, IM steroids, and supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula. We do not have the capability for IV access, nor airway management via intubation. We rely on our local EMS for emergency transport to our local, full service hospital emergency room; and their response time so far has been exceptionally good. You know your patients best; should you feel that your patient requires more than this, it would seem appropriate that he/she receive his/her shots at a facility better able to meet his/her needs. We will be glad to forward the medical records and the serum to the new facility of the patient’s choosing. We receive sera for administration, accompanied by instructions, from allergists and ENT physicians from all over the nation. Often there is wide variation in the instructions for managing adverse reactions. While one is satisfied with sq epinephrine for wheezing and shortness of breath, another requires IV aminophylline. Our limited resources restrict our ability to provide everyone with everything. We have, therefore, settled on these measures as the most reasonable for our situation. If you feel that our facility will adequately meet the needs of your patient, please indicate your consent by your signature below the following statement, and return to us. I have read the procedure and protocol governing the administration of allergy shots at Eastern Kentucky University Student Health Services, and find them acceptable for my patient, ________________________. Any future, dated, standard material calling for intervention greater than can be provided at EKU SHS can be disregarded.
