- Adrenaline auto‐injectors for the treatment of anaphylaxis with and without cardiovascular collapse in the community
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2012
Anaphylaxis is a serious hypersensitivity reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. Adrenaline (epinephrine) auto-injectors are recommended as the initial, potentially life-saving treatment of choice for anaphylaxis in the community, but they a
- Adrenaline for prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with cardiovascular compromise

Inotropes are widely used in preterm infants to treat cardiovascular compromise, which may result from early adaptive problems of the transitional circulation, perinatal asphyxia or sepsis. Sustained hypotension and poor organ blood flow are associated wi

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Mar-2015
Surgery on fingers is a common procedure in emergency and day care surgery. Adrenaline combined with lidocaine can prolong digital nerve block and provide a bloodless operating field. Extended postoperative pain relief can reduce the need for analgesics a
- Adrenergic drugs for urinary incontinence in adults
