Epinephrine Dose Calculator

Calculate the appropriate dose of epinephrine for emergency situations like anaphylaxis or cardiac arrest.

In high-stress emergency scenarios like cardiac arrest or severe anaphylactic shock, rapid and accurate dosing of epinephrine (adrenaline) is critical. Dosing errors during resuscitation can lead to poor outcomes or dangerous complications. Our Epinephrine Dose Calculator is designed to provide quick, reference-based dosing guidance for both adult (ACLS) and pediatric (PALS) scenarios. It accounts for the two most common concentrations found in crash carts—1:10,000 (0.1 mg/mL) and 1:1,000 (1 mg/mL)—to ensure the correct volume is administered via the correct route.

آلية العمل

The tool selects the appropriate dosing logic based on the chosen scenario. For adults, it uses a fixed 1mg standard. For pediatrics, it multiplies the weight by 0.01mg/kg. It then divides the final mg dose by the selected concentration to provide the exact volume in mL.
