HI All

I am just wondering about your policy/procedure for neonatal RSI meds, specifically midazolam and fentanyl, if you allow IV push undiluted or if you are diluting and administering via syringe pump. It seems as though IV push should be utilized given the emergent nature of the situation, but our neonatal nurses are thinking they are supposed to use the syringe pump.

Thanks, Katie
