Adrenaline for anaphylaxis

Relevant BNF section: 3.4.3

Adrenaline has long been the mainstay of treatment for anaphylaxis, but it is still not clear how best to give it.1 It can be administered, by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, intravenous injection or infusion or by inhalation from an aerosol.
