Hello,
We are looking at labeling and barcode scanning practices in our ICU settings, specifically around doses of medications manipulated at the bedside (e.g. paralytics, opioids, etc.). What are your practices related to these types of drugs? Do nurses have a standard way to label? Do they scan doses drawn from the vial, using and Omnicell or Pyxis label? Are there different processes for a single dose administration vs. in a bedside procedure scenario?
Any information you can provide would be helpful.
Thank you,
