poractant (surfactant) dose/size on override

Hi All
We are in the process of updating/reviewing our override list and are trying to determine which poractant (surfactant) size - 120mg/1.5ml or 240 mg/3 mL should be on override. We currently have both products on override and would like to streamline down to 1 available on override but are getting some pushback. I'm trying to determine what is most common for other institutions to have on override. We are a referral center with a 40+ bed NICU.

-If you have poractant (surfactant) on override, what size is available on override - the 1.5 ml or 3 ml?
-Does anyone have both sizes on override?
-How big is your NICU?

Thank you
Lindsey
