Hello everyone!

Question about your lantus VIAL procedures (not pens). For some background, our facility makes ALL lantus doses in the IV room, it is not floor stock (Lispro however IS floor stock, but not in pyxis). Timing the lantus dose correctly with a discontinued insulin drip has occasionally been an issue. And although many ICU RNs know to wait for the lantus to DC the drip, there are delays in getting the lantus to the floor and also if the drip gets DC'd while RN is still waiting, there's no entry in the MAR for the RN to document the drip while waiting.
