Naloxone for Cardiac arrest
Adult dosing has a median of 2 mg across 14 published protocols, with the middle half between 2 and 3.75.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.
Adultmg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |

Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
