Spiking bags for all HDs in BSC/CACI

Hello,

Does anyone pre-spike all HDs in BSC/CACI prior to dispensing? We currently prime and spike all chemotherapy in the BSC/CACI.

Does anyone use a "dry spike"? Does your process change for premixed bags of HD (e.g., fluconazole?)

We are starting the discussion if we should expand the HD medications that we spike for nursing prior to dispensing and I am wondering if anyone has had any success/tips with implementing this practice.

Thank you!
