Hi All- I am currently reviewing our pediatric hospital transport teams' (picks up very sick kiddos and brings to our hospital) medication list and policies. The medication list is extensive and needs to be standardized/simplified. If you have one of these transport teams at your hospital would you be willing to share what medications are carried and any associated policies/procedures?
Thank you
Lindsey

The pediatric Sickle Cell populations is moving across town to my hospital. Is anyone have protocols you would be willing to share?

Recently with the increase census on our Mother Baby (postpartum) unit they have been asked to take D/C moms with HTN with Mg gtts. They are unable to do so, the ICU or CVICU is the only other place they can be admitted. Does any one admit to step-down or M/S tele floors? Thank you.

Hello,

I am wondering if any other Epic users have come up with a good way to alert pharmacists and providers about an active PET Scan order when a dextrose containing med is ordered? We currently have a pharmacy consult at the time of ordering but the time between ordering the scan and it being completed there is room for a dextrose to slip through.

Thanks!

Hi all,
We currently have a requirement for telementry monitoring during phenobarbital loading when being used to treat alcohol withdrawal (10-15 mg/kg infused over 30 minutes).

We have had a recent request to remove this requirement.

Does anyone out there allow phenobarbital loading without tele? Would like to hear about your experience.

Thank you!

We are getting requests from our emergency department to use nebulized tranexamic acid for patient's with hempotysis. I was wondering if anyone has experience using nebulized tranexamic acid or if anyone has a protocol or policy for using nebulized tranexamic acid that we could review.

Specifically for neonates, what resource/references do you use to ensure medication compatibility with the additives in TPN. Please share any internal or external references, thank you very much in advance.
