Epinephrine 0.3mg or 0.5mg for Anaphylaxis?
Written by Clay Smith For anaphylaxis in adults ≥50kg, 0.5mg vs. 0.3mg IM epinephrine is strongly associated with a reduction in escalation of care (repeat epi, epi drip, or intubation). So weird that a dose circa 1918 needs to be reconsidered… Epinephrine auto-injectors come with standard 0.3mg doses (0.15mg for pediatrics).
