The Importance of Push-Dose Pressers in Emergency Medicine

"I can't find too many emergency departments or ICUs now that don't understand and utilize the concept of push-dose pressers," he says. "Most of the amesthetologists that I had contact with were doing it, and they were doing it by mixing up a solution of 1 to 100,000 (10 micrograms per ml) You would take a 10 cc syringe with 9cc's of saline and drop 1 cc of epinephrine."
