Insulin dose range checking
Do other institutions use insulin dose range checking and if so do you use a soft stop with a warning or a hard stop or both? What are your numbers for hard or soft stops? We are considering using 100 units as a hard stop for a single subcutaneous dose and having a pharmacist consult and separate orders for the need for larger doses. Does anyone have anything in place like this and would be willing to share? Thanks,
