HealthTrust presents…“Angioedema: A Review of Acute Management”

While most healthcare providers are aware that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors increase the risk of angioedema, few are as familiar with the other causes of the angioedema. This is imperative as the cause of angioedema often dictates the treatment and is complicated by the lack of a well defined treatment course. Additionally, new treatment options for hereditary angioedema have also become available in recent years. Through this educational session, a foundational understanding of angioedema will be established to promote a greater comprehension of the medications available for the management of angioedema and create more informed decisions for its treatment.

Learning Objectives for Pharmacists & Nurses | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the different types of angioedema and the corresponding pathophysiologic features.
2. Explain the mechanisms of action for medications used to treat angioedema.
3. Identify the place in therapy of the pharmacologic options for the treatment of angioedema
