    DRUG: EPINEPHRINE

    To calculate a pediatric epinephrine drip, a simple formula for children uses 0.6 multiplied by the childs weight in kg. This amount (in mg) is then added to enough IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml. When the resulting solution is infused at a rate of 1ml/hr, it will deliver a dosage of 0.1 mcg/kg/min. 2mcg/kg/min. is 2 ml/hr.
