Vasopressin for pediatrics

Hello MSOS,

Question for you all. How does your organization navigate the different doses and concentrations for the different vasopressin indications?

Do you have separate orderable options that clearly state one is for shock and one is for Diabetes insipidus and one for GI bleed?
Have you had errors with providers ordering the incorrect one?

Do your orders default to the different dosing units? ie munits/kg/hr for DI and munits/kg/min for GI bleed and shock?

Thank you!
