DIAGNOSTIC DOSE Adults 1. ADENOSINE BAXTER 30 mg/10 mL should be administered undiluted as a continuous peripheral intravenous infusion at a dose of 140 µg/kg/min over fixed time interval of six minutes (total dose 0.84 mg/kg) using an infusion pump. Separate venous sites for ADENOSINE BAXTER 30 mg/10 mL and radionuclide administration are recommended to avoid an adenosine bolus effect. 2. After three minutes of ADENOSINE BAXTER 30 mg/10 mL infusion, the radionuclide is injected. 3. Heart rate and blood pressure should be recorded at 1 minute intervals, and ECG should be monitored continuously during ADENOSINE BAXTER 30 mg/10 mL infusion. To avoid an adenosine bolus effect, blood pressure should be measured in the arm opposite to the ADENOSINE BAXTER 30 mg/10 mL infusion. The table below is given as a guide for adjustment of the infusion rate of undiluted ADENOSINE BAXTER 30 mg/10 mL, in line with body weight (total dose 0.84 mg/kg).
