Good afternoon,

Good afternoon,

Could you please share your practice for medication order verification in the general ED? Specifically, do you rely on auto-verification of orders, and is the process different for pediatric patients (i.e. pharmacist review is required for pediatric patients)?

For those of you that require dilution of promethazine, especially for those that dilute it in 50mL NS.

Who does the dilution? Pharmacy? Nursing?

We talked about pharmacy diluting the product in a 50mL bag, but with the short BUD and potential influx of 30-50 orders/day, I don't think it's within our logistical reach.

Does anyone have an Assessment of Risk form template they really like? I have a form specific to Hazardous Medications, but I am looking for something more general that can be used for almost any situation.

Thanks!

Hi, I am wondering what other hospitals use for their beyond use date for water used to reconstituting oral liquid medications? Or BUD for any sterile/distilled water used for non-sterile compounding purposes?

Bonus if you have resources or references to direct me to.

Thank you in advanced!

What is the standard concentration of cisatracurium infusion prepared at your institution? We compound 40mg/100ml and 200mg/100ml but have observed selection of the wrong conc at pump programming. Curious if other sites have multiple concentrations or only use one. Thank you!

What are your soft and hard max guardrail settings for IV treprostinil in your smart pump library. Our soft max is 40 ng/kg/min and hard max is 100 ng/kg/min. However, we have on rare occasion encountered patients receiving above 100 ng/kg/min over the years and currently have a pt with a dose above 200 ng/kg/min. Thank you in advance.
