Good morning,
Does your organization have a strategy for how many IV pumps you keep on hand?
How did you come up with your number?
We are frequently running low on LVPs (we use Alaris) and we are trying to see if there are best practices for how many we should have on hand per patient, or maybe average daily census?
Would love to hear how you handle at your organization.
Best,
Stacie Ethington MSN, RN
