Concentration
- Amount of solution in mL used to dilute 1,000mg of epinephrine
- eg 1:10,000 = 1,000mg/10,000mL = 0.1mg/mL
Adult Dosing
Anaphylaxis
0.3-0.5mg of 1:1,000 IM
- Consider glucagon 1-5mg IV if pt on B-blockers and not responding to epi
Anaphylactic shock
0.1mg of 1:10,000 slow IV during 5 min, can start infusion of 1-4 mcg/min
Cardiac Arrest
1mg of 1:10,000 IVP
Pediatric Dosing
See critical care quick reference for drug doses by weight.
