Hello there ~

For those of you with oversight of or visibility to the medication management practices happening in your Ambulatory / Outpatient clinics & office spaces... I was wondering if you would be willing to provide some commentary on the 'in-office' management of hypertension or elevated blood pressure.

Hello!

I am writing today to ask a question in regards to the preparation of bladder instillations (products to be administered intravesically into the bladder) in the outpatient space.

Typically these bladder instillations or bladder “cocktails” involve a combination of injectable heparin, lidocaine+sodium bicarbonate or bupivacaine, steroids and sometimes gentamicin. Typically these are administered in the office setting, however in some instances patients may be taught to administer such therapies at home as well.

Hi there!

I wondered if anyone had any protocols or guidelines in your ambulatory spaces regarding monitoring / observation recommendations following administration of Omalizumab (Xolair®) in the outpatient or infusion center setting?

Thanks so much in advance,
Sincerely,

Emily
