Adult dobutamine infusion S4S concentration 4000 mcg/mL adoption

Colleagues--

I am asking for weigh in on whether adult hospitals have:

1) Adopted ASHP's Standardize 4 Safety concentration for dobutamine infusion of 4000 mcg/mL

2) If so, have you seen any issues with running this concentration peripherally?

3) Additionally, do you have any line restrictions for peripheral use of dobutamine 4000 mcg/mL in needle gauge or line location?

Thank you greatly for your insight. Happy holidays!
