Keywords: Corticosteroids, Croup, Dexamethasone, Epinephrine, Heliox Equivalent doses of either 0.5 mL racemic epinephrine or 5 mL of 1
Nebulized Epinephrine. Use in moderate to severe cases based on the croup scores. Use either Racemic or Standard L-Epinephrine; Symptomatic relief via local vasoconstriction; Racemic Epi (2.25%): 0.05 mL per kg (maximal dose: 0.5 mL) of racemic epinephrine 2.25% ; Epinephrine(1:1,000): 0.5 mL per kg (maximal dose: 5 mL) via nebulizer
In patients with croup, racemic epinephrine reduces bronchial and tracheal secretions and mucosal edema. 5 The routine dosage of racemic epinephrine is 0.05 to 0.1 mL per kg per dose mixed with
Nebulized racemic epinephrine can be useful in the treatment of moderate or severe cases of LTB. 66, 67 The adrenergic effects of racemic epinephrine induce vasoconstriction, which decreases subglottic edema. 67 Racemic epinephrine 2.25% diluted 1:8 in saline is administered via nebulizer at a dose of 0.25 mL (4 drops) for children younger than
The dose is 0.5 mL of 2.25% racemic epinephrine in a 2.5 mL normal saline nebulizer. Racemic epinephrine has been shown to reduce length of stay, intubation

The recommended dose for racemic epinephrine is 0.5 mL/kg of 1:1000 airway obstruction requiring multiple doses of racemic epinephrine.
