High Dose Insulin for CCB/BB overdose
Does anyone have experience using the higher concentration of 5 units/ml IV bag for managing patients with CCB or BB overdose? What processes have you put in place to prevent errors with administration via the pump?
Do you have facilities that do not have 24 hour pharmacy coverage and do you allow nursing to mix this when pharmacy is closed?
Do you allow this therapy to be initiated at stand alone EDs?
