What are others doing to get phenobarbital loading doses to the bedside STAT?

We are facing the challenge of RNs needing 10+ vials of phenobarbital to get a loading dose into patients and weighting the risk/benefit of compounding at the bedside versus in the IV room. With the guidelines specifying a maximum # of components per preparation we are running into the challenge of immediate use compounding at the bedside versus creating a faster STAT turn around time through the central pharmacy...
