Droperidol IM use has re-emerged at my current site. Due to the heightened acuity during most if not all of the cases where droperidol IM administration is indicated, questions have been asked related to whether co-administered IM medications can be put into the same syringe as that of droperidol IM's.

IV Drug Compatibility Nursing Decision Support

Appreciate your insight!
