@sirinferno Did you not hear the Doctor?

Patient: Arghh, my chest is exploding!

Doctor: That's medication.

@ChrisH133878 It is. A bolus of IV Adrenaline 1:10,000 is a specialist BASICS skill; for extremely severe reactions. It's often the only option left, when the shock's too severe for the slow IM route.

But yes, it can cause some distressing effects.

Please tell me that the reference at 3:08 is not indicating that he got 0.5mg of IV adrenaline stat, or even a bit quick????? If so, no wonder he had chest pain. It would be interesting to see what his ECG was doing after that dose!!!!!!
