The AHA Advanced Cardiac Life Support guidelines recommend 40units of vasopressin IV to replace the first or second dose of epinephrine for non-perfusing rhythms (VF, VT, Asystole)

Answer 3

For pulseless ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation not responsive to defibrillation or PEA/asystole, the adult dose of epinephrine is 1mg of a 1:10000 dilution intravenously every 5 minutes until resolution of arrest or termination of efforts.

For children with the same conditions, the dose is 0.01mg/kg or 0.1ml/kg of 1:10000 dilution every 5 minutes to the same end points.
