Chemo for bladder instillation

Hello all

I had a question come to me from outside my organization for which I am asking for the input of others:

Regarding the instillation of chemotherapeutic agents in the bladder, what strategies have your institutions taken to avoid a wrong route event? Any SOPs or checklists or anything you want to share is appreciated. (the very real hazard is for the drug to be given IV push inadvertently).

I’m honestly asking for a friend because luckily, my organization is open and transparent about participation in list serves but not everyone’s employers are that way.

I’ll pass any suggestions on to my colleague.

Mary
