  • Title: The use of high doses of adrenaline in paediatric cardiac resuscitation.
    Author: Higginson I, Montgomery D, Tuck R.
    Journal: J Paediatr Child Health; 1996 Feb; 32(1):1-3. PubMed ID: 8652203.
    Abstract:
    Adrenaline has been used in cardiac resuscitation for many years, yet until recently its mechanism of action and optimal dosage remained poorly investigated or understood. Recent guidelines suggest the use of higher doses of adrenaline at an early stage in paediatric resuscitation. This paper examines the use of adrenaline in paediatric resuscitation and studies the arguments in favour of using higher doses than previously accepted.
