Wondering how your facility prepares chemo doses that are dispensed in bags.
1) Do you start with an empty bag and add the diluent and drug to the empty bag?
2) Do you start with a commercially available bag and remove fluid from the bag? Do you remove overfill? Have you had any concerns of doses being prepared inaccurately due to varying amounts of overfill?
3) Does your process vary depending on pediatric vs adult/adult sized patients?
We currently start with an empty bag for all patients. Looking to see what others do as we evaluate processes to improve efficiency of dose preparation without impacting safety.
