Standard opioid administration technique
We are looking to standardize the infusion duration of bolus opioids in non-critical care areas. Our oncology unit currently infuses opioids over 15 minutes via the pump while other units are less standardized (hand bolus vs. 2 mins via the pump vs. 5-15 mins via the pump). What is the practice at your facility for bolus opioids? Thanks! -Melody Sun, CHOC Children's
