2003 Red Book Erratum, P. 64
P. 64: Table 1.11: Under the heading "Intravenous administration," in the third sentence, change 1 mg/kg or 0.01 mL/kg to 0.01 mg/kg or 0.1 mL/kg.
This should now read: An initial bolus of intravenous epinephrine is given to patients not responding to intramuscular epinephrine using a dilution of 1:10 000 rather than a dilution of 1:1000. This dilution can be made using 1 mL of the 1:1000 dilution in 9 mL of physiologic saline solution. The dose is 0.01 mg/kg or 0.1 mL/kg of the 1:10 000 dilution.
