In pediatric age the dose of adrenaline in the following 4 situations is: IN CARDIORESPIRATORY ARREST is 0.01 milligrams (mg)/kilogram (kg) of weight intravenously (IV) or intraosseously (IO) every 3 to 5 minutes (min) during the time of resuscitation maneuvers In ANAPHYLAXIS is 0.01 mg/kg intramuscularly every 15 min. every 15 min if necessary In ANAPHYLAXIS WITH HYPOTENSION is 0.1 mg/kg of weight intramuscularly In ASTHMA is 0.01 mg/kg subcutaneously every 15 min. The common denominator of the dose is 0.01 milligrams of adrenaline per kilogram of weight, what varies is the route of administration and the dosing intervals. Since there are no pre-filled vials, I show in a simple way how to dilute the levorotatory adrenaline 1:1,000 (1 mg ampoules in 1 ml), to facilitate its use in these 4 critical situations in the pediatric group.
