I'm looking for some feedback on how other institutions are dispensing pharmacy-compounded syringes for inhalation. Some examples we're dispensing here are: amikacin, albuterol, amphotericin B, polymyxin B, and colistimethate.
What syringes are you dispensing in? (IV vs. oral)
Do inhalation syringes (other than the 60 mL Aerogen syringe) exist? Specifically, smaller volumes?
Any other additional preparation steps to ensure proper administration route (labeling, bagging, etc)?
Thanks!
