Hello! We are currently evaluating our processes for how potassium chloride is administered at our OP Infusion and Oncology centers and looking to compare our practices with other facilities.

For both types of settings:

Do you utilize only manufactured IVPB or do you allow compounding of custom concentrations?

Do you have policy regarding the maximum concentration that will be utilized for peripheral vs central line or port? Do you utilize the same minimum concentration regardless of type of IV access available?

Hi all! I know this topic has come up before but hoping to learn more about how other institutions handle IVIG dispensing/administration specifically in the outpatient setting (such as in an infusion center).

Inpatient we dispense patient-specific bags but outpatient we dispense bags of multiple vials that leads to cumbersome workflows for nursing and less safety measures with scanning.

1) How do you dispense IVIG doses outpatient
2) If you use multiple vials, what measures are in place to ensure safe administration

Thank you!!

Where are Medication Aides and/or RNs preparing medications for administration in the clinic setting?

Where are IV lines being prepared in the Infusion Center setting?

Do you have guidelines you can share?
Thanks in advance.
