Hypertonic Saline infusion in general setting

In my institute the hyper-tonic Saline infusion is restricted to critical care areas only including emergency dept. and it is dispensed against patient order from pharmacy. the policy does not allow its administration in general wards. however, we are receiving request especially from pediatric faculty to allow its use in general care areas in case of emergency or during tapering. Please share what is the practice in your institution and in which areas you allow its administration. We don't have ADC in our facility.
thank you
Saharish
