Nebulized opioids for end of life patients
Is anyone using IV opioids via nebulized route for comfort care patients? Is pharmacy or nursing diluting prior to administration? Any precautions for nursing or RT when administering? What concentrations are used? And if you use Epic, how is it ordered? Thank you.
