We have had a request for acetic acid bladder irrigation. Do any other institutions utilize this? Does pharmacy draw it up and send to the floor or does the nurse draw up bedside? Our concern is nursing uses a leur lock syringe and we are worried about dispensing from pharmacy and it getting confused with other IV syringes. Our initial thought was to send up an irrigation bottle, have nursing draw up bedside, and then discard the rest but wanted to see what other institutions are doing as there are inherent risks either way. These patients are long-term patients for us and this therapy could potentially be for years. Thank you!
