EPINEPHRINE DOSE | ANAPHYLAXIS & CARDIAC ARREST | PULSEPREPHUB

In this video, we review the correct doses, routes, and timing of epinephrine (adrenaline) for two critical emergencies — anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest. Topics covered: • Epinephrine pharmacology: mechanism of action • Concentrations: 1:1,000 vs 1:10,000 • Anaphylaxis: IM dosing, repeat intervals, refractory cases • Cardiac arrest (ACLS): IV/IO dosing during resuscitation • Common pitfalls and safety tips • Evidence, outcomes, and limitations Key Points: For anaphylaxis, epinephrine 1:1,000, IM, 0.01 mg/kg (max ~0.3-0.5 mg in adults), repeated every 5–15 min as needed For cardiac arrest, epinephrine 1:10,000, IV/IO, 1 mg every 3–5 min during CPR Don’t confuse concentrations! Use the correct one for each scenario ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only.
