For a newborn weighing 1 kg, what dose of 1:10,000 (0. 1 mg/ml) concentration of intravenous epinephrine is indicated?

Sagot :

It is recommended to provide 0.1 ml of intravenous epinephrine at a dosage of 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/ml) to a baby weighing 1 kg.

Epinephrine dose:

Systematic evaluation of human baby and pertinent animal research comparing various epinephrine dosages, delivery methods, and delivery intervals in neonatal resuscitation to the (currently advised) intravenous (IV) administration of doses of 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg given every 3 to 5 minutes.

Calculation:

The following formula should be used to determine the necessary epinephrine dosage:

The Baby's weight [kg] x the dose [g] = the necessary dosage.

Needed dose = 1 kg x 0.1

⇒Needed dose =  0.1 ml

Thus, the infant will get 0.10ml of intravenous epinephrine at this concentration.
