Whilst there is no prescriptive course programme, training for trainers should be based on current Resuscitation Council UK recommendations. Trainers should also be familiar with the current legislation which applies to their client group. A syringe is a medical device that is used to inject, withdraw, or measure fluids. They are typically made of plastic and have a needle at one end. The size of a syringe is typically marked in milliliters (mL), and 0.1 mL is a very small amount.

Products and replacement parts for use with laboratory syringes; includes syringe caps, tubing, cleaning products, and replacement parts such as needles, barrels, and plungers.The law does not prevent a healthcare practitioner treating anaphylaxis by administering an adrenaline injection that:

Antihistamines are not recommended for the treatment of Airway/Breathing/Circulation problems, in anaphylaxis. The key steps are using an ABCDE approach to recognise anaphylaxis, calling for help early and administering IM adrenaline. The risk of anaphylaxis after immunisations is very small. Considering these facts, it is not necessary to carry these drugs.Adrenaline is a prescription-only medicine (POM). Under Regulation 214 of The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (which can be found at www.legislation.gov.uk), “a person may not parenterally administer (otherwise than to himself or herself) a prescription-only medicine unless the person is “an appropriate practitioner” (e.g. doctor, dentist, nurse prescriber) or acting in accordance with the directions of such a practitioner. So exactly how many milligrams are there in a milliliter? The first step to answering this question is to understand what the letter 'm' means when applied to units. It means one-thousandth (1/1000) of the original unit. Therefore we're asking how many thousandths of a gram are there in a thousandth of a liter. Recall that a gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram. If you need help converting weight from a different unit to mg, our weight converter can help. However, a number of medicines are exempt from this restriction, where “this is for the purpose of saving life in an emergency” (Regulation 238). This includes adrenaline. The Department of Health guidance on this issue does not state a specific time (see Green Book guidance) but does not recommend long periods of observation. Products and replacement parts for use with medical syringes; includes syringe caps, tubing, cleaning products, and replacement parts such as needles, barrels, and plungers.

Intramuscular (IM) Into the muscle. The muscle is able to accept more irritating substances than other injectable routes.Intradermal (ID) Shallow injection to be given just under the skin between the dermis and the epidermis. Used mainly for skin tests. Not used to deliver medications. 0.1 mL is the usual volume for skin test injections. A 1-mL syringe is used. You can read the gradations on the syringe’s side for fractions of milliliters in centimeters. The three-mL syringe is the most commonly used, but syringes of various sizes, including small, large, and even large, are frequently used. If using a needle or tip, place the needle or tip in the liquid and pull the plunger upward. The numbers on the side of the syringe should be facing upward, and the needle or tip should be facing upward. The amount of liquid calculated is as follows: 0.1 mL for each long line and 0.01 mL for each short line from the zero line at the top of the needle end to the top end of the plunger. The liquid contained in 0.01 mL of liquid is divided into two large lines and two small lines resting on one of the top plungers. The accuracy of insulin syringe calibration is determined by the amount of milliliters. The restriction imposed by s58 (2)(b) (restriction on administration) shall not apply to the administration to human beings of any of the following medicinal products for parenteral administration: Adrenaline injection 1 in 1000 (1 mg in 1mL), Atropine sulphate injection, Chlorpheniramine [chlorphenamine] injection, Cobalt edetate injection, Dextrose injection strong BPC, Diphenhydramine injection, Glucagon injection, Hydrocortisone injection, Mepyramine injection, Promethazine hydrochloride injection, Snake venom antiserum, Sodium nitrate injection, Sodium thiosulphate injection, Sterile pralidoxime. Where the administration is for the purpose of saving life in an emergency" So, a milligram is a thousandth of a thousandth of a kilogram, and a milliliter is a thousandth of a liter. Notice there is an extra thousandth on the weight unit. Therefore, there must be 1,000 milligrams in a milliliter, making the formula for mg to ml conversion:
