Intrapleural Medication Administration

Hello to All!

Question regarding intrapleural medication administration:

• Do you have any restrictions on who is able to administer intrapleural route medications such as TPA?
• If nursing is able to administer, do you have any competencies/procedures/education etc prior to administration via this route? Are you please able to share?
• What device are you dispensing in?

Thank you!
