Hyaluronidase for Extravasation- Pediatrics

Hello!

Curious what other pediatric institutions do in regards to preparation/dispensing and administration of hyaluronidase for extravasations in the pediatric population!

1. Straight drug (150 units/mL) or dilution (15 units/mL) for administration?
2. If dilution
a) who prepares: pharmacy or nursing?
b) all pediatric patients or just neonates/small infants?
c) if you have Epic, how is your order built out?

Thanks in advance!
