Baclofen for intrathecal administration via Alaris pump

Hi everyone,

we have a patient who came in with an infected intrathecal baclofen pump. it was removed yesterday and today patient went into withdrawal. he is currently being managed with oral baclofen and pain doc inserted a new intrathecal catheter to be hooked up to Alaris pump to run at 15 micrograms/hr not to exceed 300 micrograms per day or 4 ml/hr. I am having trouble finding dilution and stability info.

Any experience with this is appreciated!!

thank you,
Melissa
