Mixing instructions for epinephrine - a "dirty epi drip"


 - Inject 1 mg of epinephrine into a liter bag of normal saline.  One milligram of epinephrine can be obtained either from an entire syringe of cardiac epinephrine (1:10,000) or an entire vial of IM epinephrine (1:1000).


 - Bolus the patient with 20 ml of this solution, which will deliver a bolus of 20 mcg epinephrine.
