Résumé

To prevent anaphylaxis-associated illness, intramuscular-epinephrine injection is recommended. Subcutaneous injection may reduce efficacy and intraosseous injection promotes morbidity. A few studies suggest that commercially-available thigh-epinephrine autoinjectors (EAIs) may induce subcutaneous/intraosseous injection in some adults.
