Infusion Line: Central Or Peripheral?

Good Morning,

Does anyone have guidelines or references on medication administration via central or peripheral line?

With the shortage on dopamine 400mg/500ml which we standardly give peripherally, want to know if it is possible to safely use other concentrations such as 400mg/250ml via this line.

A document with this plus other meds would be helpful to try and devise something at my facility.

Thank you
Hera
