What is the initial volume of a 1:1000 concentration of Adrenaline for Severe/Life Threatening Asthma?
The initial volume of dose for Adrenaline in Severe/Life Threatening Asthma is 0.5ml of 1:1000 concentration.
When is a repeat dose of Adrenaline indicated for Anaphylaxis with Airway Obstruction/Stridor/Angioedema?
A single repeat dose of Adrenaline is indicated for Anaphylaxis with Airway Obstruction/Stridor/Angioedema, but CSPSOC consultation is required for any further repeats.
What is the dose and initial volume of Adrenaline for Cardiac Arrest?
For Cardiac Arrest, the dose of Adrenaline is 1mg, with an initial volume of 1ml of 1:1000 concentration. It is administered via the Intravascular/Intraosseous route.
Define the dilution process for Adrenaline when used for Anaphylaxis/Peri Arrest refractory to x2 doses intramuscular adrenaline and fluid.
For Anaphylaxis/Peri Arrest refractory to x2 doses intramuscular adrenaline and fluid, 0.1ml of 1:10000 concentration is diluted by adding 9mls of NaCl to make a 1mg/10ml solution.
What is the repeat dosing schedule for Adrenaline when treating Severe Croup?
For Severe Croup, a repeat dose of 5mg Adrenaline can be administered after 15 minutes if required.
Distinguish the contraindications for Amiodorone 150mg/3ml from those of Aspirin 300mg Tablet.

What is the dose and route for Amiodorone when treating Cardiac Arrest with persistent/shock resistant VF/pulseless VT post 3rd shock?
For Cardiac Arrest with persistent/shock resistant VF/pulseless VT post 3rd shock, the dose of Amiodorone is 300mg via the Intravascular/Intraosseous route.
What are the indications for Aspirin 300mg Tablet?

What is the maximum repeat dose for Atropine in Symptomatic Bradycardia?
For Symptomatic Bradycardia, Atropine can be repeated every 3-5 minutes titrated to effect, with a maximum total dose of 3mg.
Describe the dilution process for Atropine when treating Organophosphate poisoning.
When treating Organophosphate poisoning, 1.2mg/1ml of Atropine is diluted with 11mls of NaCl to make 1.2mg/12ml, which is a 100mcg/ml concentration.
