For those who haven't heard of them, an epi spritzer is where you take 1 code dose of epi and dilute it with NS to a total volume of 10 ml. You
Epi 1:1000 is considered high dose. 1:10,000 is low dose. There is a more recent dose called push dose epi at 1:100,000. Each one is used for a
Pediatric Code dose epi is 0.01 mg/kg, or 2cc of the 0.1 mg/ml concentration of epi = 200 mcg. Epi spritzer would be 200 mcg in a total of 10cc
For a 100kg patient this will deliver 50 mcg per minute, or 250 mcg every 5 minutes. This dosing level equates to about 25% of code dose epi, and should help to support intra-arrest diastolic coronary perfusion without hammering the heart and brain as hard as code dose epi does.
My understanding for using a dirty epi gtt was for a coding patient. With limited resources the every 3-5 min epi dose administrations are offloaded from the caregivers. Granted this isn t ACLS but some providers are going to an epi gtt at 0.7 mcg/kg/min during a code for constant state of drug vs the yo yo effect.
Dose: Take the code dose syringe of epi and remove 1ml. Mix this with 9ml of NS (in a syringe is easiest). This gives you a concentration of 0.1
Dose of epi is important, but I think Is there room for using a feedback loop such as this with Epi admin in a trauma code situation?
