Fentanyl IVP on Med Surg units

Hi,
I would like to hear from sites that have restricted Fentanyl IV Push (IVP) to ER/ICUs/Surgery/Procedural areas. Basically do not allow the usage on MedSurg type of patient care units.

If you have limited Fentanyl IVP to certain units, would you mind sharing what criteria or literature was used to implement that process? We are looking to do the same but would appreciate any guidance or information to steer in the right direction.

Thank you in advance,
Pratixa Patel
