    AbstractTopical epinephrine is useful in controlling the bleeding of skin graft donor sites. However, the use of exogenous epinephrine during halothane anesthetization increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. This study shows that there is no significant increase in plasma epinephrine levels after topical administration of up to 80 cc of 1:500,000 epinephrine, suggesting that the use of this dose in conjunction with halothane anesthesia is safe.
