Greetings all,
If you provide intermittent doses for syringe pump administration for peds/neonates do you provide overfill to prime the line or do they have to attach a flush syringe to flush at the same rate afterwards?

Are there any best practices in regards to this that we may be unaware of?

Historically the majority of our hospitals have been providing overfill but trying to standardize all hospitals to a single process and looking for best practice. Certainly are pros and cons to each (overfill vs flush behind)

Thank you in advance,
Dana
