What is the correct dose in micrograms for the initial treatment of a conscious patients suffering from anaphylaxis?
0.1 ml of adrenaline 1 in 1000
0.5 ml of adrenaline 1 in 1000
10 ml of adrenaline 1 in 10 000
1ml of adrenaline 1 in 10 000
0.1 ml of adrenaline 1 in 10 000
The dose you need to give is 0.5-1mg This is something you just have to know…
Adrenaline is confusingly found in strengths 1 in 10000 and 1 in 1000. 1 in 1000 means 1 gram in 1000ml 1 in 10000 means 1 gram in 10000 my of dilutent The dose you need to give is 0.5-1mg This equates to 1 ml of adrenaline 1 in 1000.
10 ml of 1 in 10000 is 1mg but this strength is primarily reserved for IV use (you would struggle to inject 10ml IM)
