Abstract
Epinephrine is widely used in the management of severe cardiovascular instability as well as in cardiac arrest. In cardiac arrest, epinephrine has a standard dose (1mg) given at fixed intervals. We present a report on the use of high dose epinephrine (35mg in 45 minutes) during the successful management of a patient with sustained profound hypotension as a result of massive hemorrhage following laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
