In cases of suspected anaphylaxis, it is of paramount importance to first place the patient in a safe position and simultaneously call for emergency assistance. Checking if the person has an adrenaline autoinjector and promptly administering it, if available, is a life-saving intervention. Even after the autoinjector has been used, it is mandatory to seek medical attention via 112 Emergency Health Services. The first aid steps to be taken during this process are as follows:
* Lay the patient on their back and raise their legs above the level of their torso.
* Ensure the airway is clear.
* If nausea or vomiting is present, turn the patient's head to the side to prevent aspiration.
* Immediately discontinue contact with the allergen or trigger causing the anaphylaxis.
* Immediately call 112 Emergency Health Services.
