Good morning!
Does anyone have a guideline/policy for administration of medication via EVD? We are looking to standardize our practice here and are looking for some guidance - in particular with regards to filtering
1) Do you filter all medications that will be given via EVD? If not, how do you determine which meds are ok to be filtered?
2) Do you provide a filtered preservative-free saline flush?
3) What BUD do you give these medications?
Thank you!
