Epinephrine should be administered rapidly, typically over 1 to 3 seconds, particularly in emergency situations such as anaphylaxis or cardiac arrest. This quick push helps ensure prompt delivery of the medication into the bloodstream for immediate action. In cases of anaphylaxis, it is usually given intramuscularly in the mid-anterolateral thigh. Always follow the specific guidelines and protocols for the situation at hand.
