Tracheal adrenaline may produce unreliable haemodynamic effects in anaesthetised patients; leaves open questions on dosing and alternatives in emergencies.
Does tracheally administered adrenaline produce reliable haemodynamic effects compared to intravenous administration in anaesthetised patients?
Tracheally administered adrenaline is unreliable and requires very large doses to produce clinically useful haemodynamic effects compared to intravenous administration.
Kestin et al. (1995) studied this question.
