"My son had an anaphylaxis"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

My son was rushed to A&E with anaphylactic due to coming into contact with nuts. 

From the moment we arrived to the A&E reception the level of professionalism was exceptional, the nurses quick thinking rushed my son through resuscitation room whilst my wife was still giving his credentials, to where they took his oxygen level / stats where they were alarming low. 

The doctors / nurses gave him a nebuliser, they then assessed him and concluded that he was having anaphylactic reaction, they then administered an injection to stabilise, his situation as a result this life threatening situation was quickly, promptly dealt with. 
I wish to thank the staff who dealt with him in how they dealt with the situation in a professional manner,  
 I would particularly like to thank nurse Adele and her colleagues for promptly dealing with the situation and assuring me, my wife and son in a stressful situation. 
Thank you for your dedication

Good afternoon Keiron

Many thanks for posting your feedback on Care Opinion.

This must have been extremely stressful for you all especially your son. I am so pleased to hear of the positive outcome and, of the care and attention your son received from our staff within the Accident and Emergency unit at University Hospital Wishaw.

Our staff work extremely hard to provide the highest standard care so it will be my pleasure to share your kind words of encouragement with the department.

I hope your son continues to improve from this scary episode.

I wish you and your family all the best for 2022.

Best wishes

Jean
