Fentanyl for RSI induction
Adult weight-based dosing has a median of 0.001 mg/kg across 15 published protocols, with the middle half between 0.001 and 0.0015.
1,335 rows are under review across the census and excluded from every number on this page. How that works.
Adult, weight-basedmg/kg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0005 | 0.001 | 0.001 | 0.0015 | 0.003 |
Values in mg/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a drug five times still gets one vote.
