In our IV guidelines, Adenosine is restricted to our progressive care unit and ICU. It is only allowed on the other floors for a RRT or a Code Blue. MD's are requesting we revisit this guideline and allow it to be pushed by a physician on a general floor if needed. Makes sense instead of having to transfer a pt just to break a SVT and then transfer back if they don't require higher level of care.
Do other institutions allow this practice? What are your restrictions on Adenosine?
Thanks!
