%X Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel are often the first healthcare contact
for patients experiencing anaphylaxis. There is a paucity of data regarding whether
EMS dispatchers triage anaphylaxis appropriately. We analyzed 911 dispatch calls for
allergy and anaphylaxis to determine whether EMS dispatchers accurately triaged anaphylaxis
per the nationally used Advanced Medical Priority Dispatch System (AMPDS) guidelines.
