Epinephrine (adrenaline) is administered during CPR to:
- Increase cardiac output: Epinephrine stimulates the heart, helping to restore a perfusing rhythm.
- Improve blood pressure: It causes vasoconstriction, increasing blood pressure and perfusion to vital organs.
The standard dose of 1 mg IV/IO every 3-5 minutes is based on guidelines from organizations like the American Heart Association (AHA). This dosing interval allows for repeated administration while minimizing potential side effects.
