The @Risk Rescue Medical Crisis Response System provides a one-stop centralized Rescue Station to facilitate emergency treatment of these, and other, known life-threatening health risks, where access to simple treatment protocols and medications are critical.
For those at-risk from anaphylactic shock caused by severe allergic reactions to foods such as shellfish, milk, eggs, nitrates, soybeans, nuts, wheat, or MSG, or to bites and stings from insects such as spiders, wasps or bees, or to latex.
For those at-risk from severe asthma attacks, severe diabetic hypoglycemia, epileptic seizures, or angina.
The @Risk Rescue System can be utilized in a number of settings such as schools, summer camps, and the work place. Rescue Kits can be used in cars, boats, homes, and while at recreation. It is our hope that the @Risk Rescue Medical Crisis Response System will ultimately be the standard of care for known, life-threatening health risks.
Did you know?
Food allergies are the cause of 10% - 40% of all cases of anaphylaxis (the potentially life-threatening allergic response) presenting to hospital Emergency Rooms.
Approximately 6,000 deaths occur in the U.S.A. each year as a result of asthma.
Early administration of epinephrine in anaphylaxis or severe asthma may be life saving.
Prompt management of diabetic hypoglycemia (in insulin-dependant diabetes) can diminish the risk of permanent brain damage and, as well, may be life saving.
Bees and wasps account for the majority of anaphylaxis from insect bites and stings.
Fatal reactions to insect stings are more common in sensitized patients (i.e. those known to have a prior allergic reaction, even a minor one).
People with severe reactions are advised to have self-administered medications, such as epinephrine, readily available.
The world’s best physician is powerless to help in any of the above situations if the appropriate medications are not at hand.
An untrained attendant can administer a life saving dose of medication, such as epinephrine, with minimal risk, IF the drug and instructions for its administration are available.
On average, there are 7 anaphylactic children in every elementary school and 17 anaphylactic students in every high school according to the Toronto Star, May 16, 2005.
The @Risk Rescue System is a simple, but highly-effective, modular system that centralizes the life-saving procedures and medications needed in response to anaphylaxis, severe asthma attacks, or any other predictable medical emergency.
