Question

For a newborn weighing 1 kg, what dose of 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/ml) concentration of intravenous epinephrine is indicated

Answer 1

The required dosage should be calculated using the following formula:
Required dosage = weight of the baby [kg] * dosage per kg
Required dosage = 1 kg * 0.1 = 0.1
Therefore, the concentration of the intravenous epinephrine that will be given to the baby is 0.10ml.
