Generally the dose of adrenaline also known as epinephrine in cardiac arrest is 1mg of the 1:10000 concentration every 3-5 minutes while the arrest continues. Other drugs are used but are more dependant on the type of arrest.

After giving 40 units of vaspressine in cardiac arrest is there any need to give further epinephrine or no?

ACLS protocols allow for the use of vasopressin instead of the first does of epinephrine in the v-fib/pulseless v-tach algorithms. If vasopressin is used, no epinephrine is given for 10 minutes following the administration of vasopressin. After that 10 minutes, epinephrine is given every 5 minutes, as per the usual algorithm.
