1,200 microgram/kg noradrenaline base and make up to 50 mL
|
Draw up 1,200 microgram/kg (1.2 mL/kg) with 5% glucose or sodium chloride 0.9%6 to make a 50 mL solution [i.e., 24 micrograms/kg/mL]. Infusing at a rate of 1 mL / hour = 0.4 microgram/kg/minute.
|

Noradrenaline should be given via a central venous catheter (UVC or PICC) using a continuous infusion.
Infuse through a dedicated line where possible.
