Hello,

Our institution has been observing a recent increase in hypersensitivity reactions associated with fosaprepitant. The hypersensitivity reactions have been occurring within a minutes of infusion initiation, and has occurred with patients who have previously tolerated the infusion.

Has anyone observed any similar trends at their institutions?

Thank you,

Matthew Beaulac

Happy New Year!

Quick question -
What is the maximum rate of infusion for potassium allowed to be administered at your organization WITHOUT telemetry? (10 mEq/hour vs. 20 mEq/hour, other?)

Is this the same for both inpatient and outpatient settings?

(...if you administer WITHOUT telemetry at rates higher than 10 mEq/hour - would you mind sharing your references?)

Thank you!
Emily

Hello,

I'm interested in learning about other people's experiences as it relates to Alaris Pump Modules and their Estimated Useful Life.

We utilize Alaris Pump Module 8100 and I am trying to obtain information regarding when we should look to update/replace our existing hardware. We have been unable to obtain clear guidelines on this from our BD Carefusion reps.

Can anyone share their experience with Baxter IV pumps?
We currently have Alaris and are interested in Baxter's Spectrum IQ pump.

I appreciate any information you can share,
