Muerte por anafilaxia correlaciona con retraso en aplicación de epinefrina.
Debe de administrarse de inmediato ante síntomas respiratorios ó
cardiovasculares.
El uso temprano esta justificado en pacientes con antecedente de asma y
especialmente en aquellos que requieren de medicación frecuente
Epinefrina mantiene T/A, Antagoniza efectos de mediadores, e inhibe
liberación posterior.
No contraindicaciones absolutas
Es la droga de primera elección, es bien tolerada y es potencialmente salva
vidas.

picking up the syringe to injecting the epinephrine dose
into the vial were as follows: parents, 142 ± 13 seconds
(range, 83-248); physicians, 52 ± 3 seconds (range, 30-
83); general duty nurses, 40 ± 2 seconds (range, 26-71);
and emergency department nurses, 29 ± 0.09 seconds
(range, 27-33). The control groups did not differ signifi-
cantly from each other with regard to speed (P > .05).
The mean (± SEM) volume of epinephrine drawn up by
the parents was 0.07 ± 0.01 mL (range, 0.004-0.151); this
compared with volumes of 0.085 ± 0.01 mL (range, 0.03-
0.19) for the physicians, 0.098 ± 0.01 mL (range, 0.04-
0.13) for the general duty nurses, and 0.099 ± 0.01 mL
(range, 0.07-0.15) for the emergency department nurses.
The mean (± SEM) value for epinephrine content of
the parents’ doses (73 ± 11 mg; range, 4-151) did not dif-
fer significantly from those of the physicians (86 ± 10
mg; range, 25-193), the general duty nurses (98 ± 7 mg;
range, 44-133), or the emergency department nurses (99
± 6 mg; range 72-145; P > .05; Fig 2). There was an
almost 40-fold range of epinephrine content of the doses
drawn up by the parents; this was in contrast to a 7- to 8-
fold range in the physician group, a 3-fold range in the
general duty nurse group, and a 2-fold range in the emer-
gency department nurse group.
There was no correlation between the time that it took
to draw up the epinephrine doses and the amount of the
epinephrine (in micrograms) contained in the doses (Fig
3). The parents’ comments about the technique included
the following:
“It takes too long.”
“The components are small and easy to lose.”
“The amount is tiny, impossible to remember, and
difficult to measure.”
“It is very easy to give an overdose or no dose at all.”
“The removal of the air is the hardest part.”
“This is way too much to ask of a parent.”
“In a real-life emergency, an anxious parent could not
do this.”
“This is far too hard, too complicated, and too difficult
for a parent to do.”
“Babysitters and daycare staff would refuse to do this.”
DISCUSSION
The available options for administration of an accurate
epinephrine dose to infants experiencing anaphylaxis out-
side the hospital setting vary considerably in ease of use
and in cost, and each has advantages and disadvantages.
The EpiPen Jr and EpiPen auto-injectors currently
represent the most user-friendly method of giving an epi-
nephrine injection, but they are also associated with the
greatest expense ($50.00 US or more for a single dose)
and are not available in many countries. They have the
additional disadvantage that neither of the 2 doses avail-
able (0.15 mg for the EpiPen Jr and 0.3 mg for the
EpiPen) is suitable for infants, given that even by the age
of 24 months only 3% of infants will have achieved a
weight of 15 kg.15 The Ana-Kit was intermediate
between the EpiPen Jr and EpiPen auto-injectors and the
FIG 1. The length of time needed for participants to draw up the
epinephrine dose is shown by group. The parents were signifi-
cantly slower (P £ .05) than the controls. During treatment of actu-
al anaphylaxis, when seconds count, this difference might be clin-
ically relevant. The controls did not differ significantly from each
other (P > .05). GD, General duty; ED, emergency department.
FIG 2. The epinephrine content (in micrograms) of the dose drawn
up by the participants is shown by group. Wide variances were
found, from a 40-fold range in epinephrine content of parents’
doses (worst) to a 2-fold range of epinephrine content of emer-
gency department nurses’ doses (best). The mean epinephrine
doses drawn up by each group did not differ significantly (P > .05).

nephrine dose and the speed with which the dose was drawn up.
It is a concern that some doses fell outside the potential 50%
underdosing (45 mg) and 50% overdosing (135 mg) broad limits
indicated by the shaded areas. MD, Physician; GDN, general duty
