Answer:

1 minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Injectable adrenaline is used in infants with a severe allergic reaction. Adrenaline is the primary saving measure for a child with anaphylaxis. Just have an autoinjector containing the substance and instructions on how to use it.

However, when using injectable epinephrine, some precautions need to be taken, including stopping the compressions within a minute and reevaluating the baby's heart rate.
