Racepinephrine (Racemic epinephrine) is used for croup patients who have stridor at rest and post extubation stridor. It is currently on national shortage and many facilities have a very limited supply of the nebules on hand. In times of shortage, intravenous EPINEPHRINE 1 mg/mL can be utilized as a nebulized solution in place of racepinephrine using the dosing of 0.5 mg/kg to a max of 5 mg. Doses that result in a volume of less than 3 mL should have normal saline added to the nebulizer to make a minimum volume of 3 mL.
