any data on extending vecuronium infusion stability past 24 hours?

Hi everyone,

Our institution is re-evaluating extending the hang time of continuous infusions to accommodate COVID patients and reduce the amount of times the nurse has to enter in the room. We have not found much stability information to extend vecuronium infusion past 24 hours, which would be preferred since vecuronium is on shortage.

Does anyone have any data or experience extending out the stability time?

Thank you!
